ABSTRACT
This chapter largely in terms of their most direct implications for rhythm. Among these foundational ideas are physicality, the primacy of prime numbers, and certain aspects of perceptual psychology. It is worth noting here that the term physicality is a better one than physiology for describing phenomena applicable to rhythmic theory, because such phenomena are more broadly concerned with how human beings relate to the physical realm. The chapter explores the importants to stress principles by which human beings may seek to understand and interact with the larger physical world. It explores some of the details, implications, and applied principles of this theory are now in order. To begin with, the reader is reminded of the qualified definition of rhythm already presented: the management of time in human musical processes. The idea that a musical selection might display one or more prevalent patterns of grouping that are manifested structurally in important ways.
