(...) Definitely a great foundation started by Damien - it is tools like this that allow hobbies to evolve into something bigger. i.e. If an expert builder were to formally train novices, a language like this would be crucial. Or, it could allow all (...) (22 years ago, 30-Jul-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) Hi Jeff, I also think the LEGO group should include "building guidelines" in his products. Or at least more idea books. Childs can not infer a building practice by themselves. They are quickly discouraged by trials and failures. I am very (...) (22 years ago, 30-Jul-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) Sorry - I didn't mean to offend your sensibilities. Let me try to explain: Like others, I see your calculus as something very similar to music theory. Properties of a piece of music, such as it's tempo or key, do not measure the value of a (...) (22 years ago, 31-Jul-02, to lugnet.space)

Jeff, Sorry to make this my rant space almost but I once again have to set something straight about music theory: Tempo, notes, key signatures...that is not really music theory...it is only part of it. Those qualifications are analogous to the color (...) (22 years ago, 31-Jul-02, to lugnet.space)

Jeff, Wow! You certainly have done your homework. And Schenkerguide is a pretty decent place to start :) I'm glad you understand Schenker a bit now and the way in which I see it relates to Damien's Lego Calc. Schenker is mostly used for analysis and (...) (22 years ago, 1-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)

Jeff, That's odd that you found a lot of mathematical explanations for it... Pitch-class sets are the new mathematical way of understanding atonal music but harmonic analysis (Roman numeral) should be fairly non-mathematical. In any case, I'm happy (...) (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)
