numogram — hand-drawn
The numogram is a representation of the decimal system, "received" by the CCRU in the 90s. It is claimed to be a "lemurian" alternative to the "atlantean" Tree of life or tetractys (where the Lemurs are demon-like entities waging a time war - and the different regions of the numogram thus represent different modes of time. This is achieved by the summation to 9, as opposed to the atlantean centralisation of the number 1, and summation to 10). Numbers traverse edges according to these rules: syzygy (pairs summing to 9), currents (the difference of the numbers of a syzygy), gates (triangular reduction), and a later tentative addition suggested by Nick Land recently, a "prime gate" to the Nth prime number (this prevents the otherwise inevitable trapping in either the Warp or the Plex). Each step produces an interval, which is the ratio of [previous number]:[pointed-to number] (with correction for super-octave intervals, such that each step is within an octave of the previous one - but nothing prevents rising many octaves over several steps). Land claims the numogram is "a natural consequence of the decimal system, if summation to 9 is utilised", and thus sees its structure as revealing something significant about our world - which obviously is significantly marked by decimal numeracy, and more esoterically - has been transformed by the addition of 0 to European thinking in the renaissance. There is much to be said about the numogram, so there will likely soon be a page dedicated to it, and I am happy to talk about it on a call as well. The idea of this music generator is simply that it seems cool to create music from an occult representation of decimal numeracy, in the simplest way possible (musical intervals literally are just ratios of frequencies, with ratios of smaller numbers sounding more pleasant)
