Yes, If I was writing for another audience I would have to adress this
more specifically. But you know what I'm getting at. I don't want to
post a billion word technical rubrick.

:-) Aw, give it a shot.

You know, if I could be assured that what I want to do is feasible, I
really would write something like this up. Till then though, I'm a
busy man and it seems like a huge waste of time if nothing could ever
come from it.


How would the subjective characteristics that your brain is
very good at discerining be algorithmically characterized
and what would be the form of the data the analysis
produced?

What would be in these data sets.

What math?

Approximate it with what?

Hell man, these are the questions I came looking for the anwsers to.
You were supposed to answer these!

I hope you understand that my intent was to point out that
these aren't solved problems. There aren't even glimmers on
the horizon. You are defining a musical AI with an awesome
intelligence, processing capability and prodigous memory.

Yes. You are quite good at socratic method. I guess I just thought
you knew these answers but wanted to see me "jump through some hoops"
first, not malicously of course. But if what you're saying is that
the math, or system of maths this would require hasn't even been
"invented" yet, then that's an altogether different type of thing.

Anyway, thanks for your time and input.
