The multidimensional sound-space hypothesis
In 3D space, the time variable is independent of the x,y,z variables, in contrast to 4D space-time, where they are linked together – by the constant c – and considered necessary to fully determine a phenomenon.
Multidimensional spaces (5D, etc.) with complex geometries are silent, invisible and unimaginable, with many, even countless, dimensions determined by vectors.
According to the scientists on the Blue Brain Project team, there is a multidimensional universe in the human brain. It can create structures in up to 11 dimensions, but these are not perceived in the traditional sense, as we are currently unable to imagine a space with more than 4 dimensions. Our brain stores its memories « perhaps in a multidimensional cavity » (1.), which would in fact be a latent space.
Considering the probable porosity of these dimensions, both in their complex geometries and in their heterogeneous contents, and as : – Karlheinz Stockhausen, who thought of transforming humans into polyphonic creatures capable of hearing (and experiencing) several sound worlds or planes at once ; – Giacinto Scelsi, who listened to sound matter to the point of existing within it, so that it became a milieu where he had a place to be : « There is already in this sound, the whole cosmos that fills space. All possible sounds are contained within it. » (2.) ;
One day, we will certainly be able to perceive, down to the infinitesimal, certain multi-dimensional sound spaces that Gaston Bachelard (3.) already evoked in his plural conception of a space-time that is never given, but always to be constructed as a superposition of instants.
« You have to invent the heart of things, if you ever want to discover it. » , said Jean-Paul Sartre. (4.)
