...as in MUSIC so in LIFE by the very Reverend AT Jazz

...these words and their analogues are a maxim i was to find again and again in my researches throughout the ages: as above, so below; as in heaven, so on earth; as in music, so in life seems to be the oldest way of noting the similarities, and dare i say, resonance between states.

The Law of Octaves, in the field of Chemistry, discovered by John Newlands notes the similarity of chemical elements when arranged according to atomic weight, that is to say, every eighth element displays the same physical and chemical properties. We've all struggled with that Table of Elements, arranged in a weird box arrangement (based on chronology of discovery rather than anything else), trying to remember seemingly random data dotted throughout. When arranged in a circle, or more precisely, a spiral (there's that spiral again) alle ist klar.

In music also, everything is related to the octave. On a piano keyboard for instance, whichever white note you start on, every eighth white note above it is the same, just an octave higher. This pattern repeats again and again, in ever increasing or decreasing circles. When plotted on a circle, and seen from above, relationships like chords and intervals can be seen as regular and repeatable shapes. If only music (and chemistry) was taught like this, anybody could easily pick up the basics real fast. Brainwaves too form a spiral in a similar way, but the separate octaves are again (as in chemistry) named based on chronology of discovery rather than from a clear overview into a system that makes sense. It's like all these truths and knowledge have been obscured and diffused throughout disparate fields of research, either by accident or design. If accidental, surely we could all have a general meeting and get some parity between disciplines, sort this con-fusion out: but, if by design, we are kept in the dark, then... tum tum tuuummm, it's a conspiracy! ...infamy infamy, they've all got it infamy! etc
When we arrange our single octave of vision onto this same circle, we can for instance, infer consonant colour schemes based on consonant musical interval and chord shapes. This single octave of visible light doesn't spread out into an octave, but taking hue into account, we can see white at the centre where the colours collide into a white noise, and at the edges the colours fade to black as they lose energy and dissipate. This spiral of sorts helps in centring our colour chords round a dominant root note.
Similarly, in music, using the same notes but starting from a different point, or root, gives us different moods, or modes, as they were called in the ancient greek musical system. Most of these 7 modes feel vaguely foreign, some almost alien sounding to our modern western ears raised on only 2 of them, the major and the minor. According to some sources, our major mode promotes militaristic feelings and patriotism, whilst our melancholic minor key invokes despair and longing, a heady brew i think you'll agree, which following the maxim; as in MUSIC, so in LIFE, certainly explains our present situation all too well.

The Law of Resonance, from the field of Physics meanwhile, posits action at a distance based on relative frequencies within a given medium, that is to say, again within the spectrum of sound, a tuning fork tuned to A (440hz) is struck and placed upon a piano, the A above middle C on the piano will sound, as will, to a lesser degree, all the other A's, at 220hz and at 110hz, at 880hz and at 1760hz etc. and, to a much lesser degree throughout the series of harmonics, the octave plus a fifth, and the octave plus a 9th etc.

This in essence, is the heart of my Spiral Spring Theory, following on from this knowledge, visualising a series of spirals within spirals, it becomes easier to see the relation between certain notes, colors, and consonances throughout the 72 different octaves in the known frequency spectrum, all the way from the very fastest frequencies, through vision and sound and down to our brainwave frequencies, which start actually within the audible sound spectrum, go down through the BPMs of the very music we listen to, the soundtrack to our lives, and the clock which conducts us all into a dominant C root note, which is coincidentally consonant with 120BPM, and the color green, a nice hospital hue to keep us aneasthetized from our melancholic war fever...

When you consider another maxim that comes up in this research; Whomever writes the music, controls the populace, you can see why this theory isn't taught in schools...
