This report is a pedagogical exercise on the geometrical construction of the equal-tempered musical system and its application to the Parthenon of Athens. If you apply yourself rigorously to the construction presented in the third and last section of this report, you will actually have discovered how to go through an axiomatic change between a higher and a lower manifold in accordance with the method of constructive geometry of Jacob Steiner and Bernhard Riemann.
The mastery of this method requires a lot of time and patience but the result of going through all of the rigorous steps with such a geometric proof by construction will give you a sense of satisfaction like nothing else will, because you will have discovered the truth of the matter by construction and by yourself.
The rewards of this effort, however, will not be measured with immediate gratification; but, isn’t it what life is all about? You suffer through hard work, while you are still young, so that you can really savor the fruits of creative joy when you get old and grey. Follow this pathway and I guarantee you that your increase in Energy-Flux-Density will improve in proportion to your teaching this to others.
