Incompleteness
is related to (Nobel Prize winner) Kurt Gödel's theorem of Incompleteness. This Theorem describes the inability of human logic to prove any of the axioms without replacing it with a new axiom. (An axiom being an unprovable acceptance - admittance upon which all mathematical calculus and conclusions are dialectically based).
In this piece, harmonic process inevitably leads the solving of one dissonance (between two voices) to the creation of a new dissonance on a third voice and so on.
Faith, beliefs, admittances merely based on man’s subjective experience will always be the non rational basis of the most complicated mathematical rational structures. The World is acrobatically floating on an unstable, yet magically sustainable harmony. Things finally tend towards an indeterminate, enigmatic God - or Absurdity.
(After proving that Man’s dialectic sub-structure will always be absolutely relative Kurt Gödel - Albert Einstein’s close friend - provoked his own death in a hospital refusing to eat. Against his doctors he was using, as an argument, his own theorem’s uncertainty: he did not believe that he was definitely going to be poisoned by the food, still no one could prove to him that he was not going to be poisoned).
