Abstract
The oniontological topography developed in the last chapter specifies a communication from the poietic to the neutral position, yielding the performed music as a sounding expression. The delicate point is the technical way of connecting the score information and the surrounding CSI to the sounding output. The solution we have chosen is historically justified in that the score has evolved from the neumatic notation, meaning that the score is a “dance floor of gestures” and therefore relates to real physical events in an abstracted way. This implies that the score coordinates of onset and pitch are an abstraction from real physical coordinates.
A known mistake is better than an unknown truth.
