What happens, when you give a small group of children the task to create music about something they have previously visualized?
About the right working atmosphere to the right task
Well, the answer to the question in the title – in our particular case here – was a composition, following the golden ratio. The amazing observation was published in a Journal about the education for children [1]. The first author of this paper, Johanna Roels, is a well-respected pianist and music teacher. She contacted our technical partner, Dr. Norbert Schwarzer, because she saw many such patterns, following fundamental mathematical laws and structures, when giving children composition tasks where they had to work together in order to create something “meaningful” [2].
The connection was generated by one of Madam Roel’s friends, a famous specialist in immunology, who was doing his very own little project with Norbert in a completely different field. As the wise turtle Oogway in Kung Fu Panda said, “there are no accidents”, it apparently is of little wonder that Norbert had just busied himself lately with the task of finding as fundamental as possible, which is to say quantum gravity, which is to say metric explanations for the question of how structures like the golden ration or certain fractal patterns can metrically appear… and – of course – why they are so frequently seen in nature. In the case of the golden ratio he had found that one way to bring such a pattern about would be two waves, dancing around each other. Thereby one of the waves has to be dominant, the other recessive. After describing this to Mrs. Roels, she revealed to him that – in fact – she was seeing the golden ratio when there was a group of little composers who acted in a dominant-recessive manner. Interesting, isn’t it?
Now some of our readers might probably ask why such a “coincidence” is important, respectively, why we consider it important enough to “newsletter” about it.
Well, just think about a creative or research task you need to get done in your team, your company, your group of experts (each with different fields of expertise, of course). You have no idea how the solution to the task might look like, but you want to have an optimum working atmosphere in order to assure the perfect outcome in good time and with a minimum of resourse’s. Wouldn’t it be great to know the general recipe for such an atmosphere… no matter the size of the team, the complexity of the problem, the boundary conditions, the budget and the human resources at hand?
Regarding the theory or it’s application [3] please contact us about how the World Formula can be applied to your business, crisis, or problem. A 'theory of everything’ published already over 105 years ago only no one saw it [4].
