I think of all this as a sensible introduction to non-binary computing. It is more than just interesting that: 1) a musical, number-theoretical treatment of groups of bits can contain such a vast amount of harmonic information of a more or less intuitive (Jazz-related) type; 2) the problem of indefinite location/identification appears as a problem of passing time; 3) matters of completeness in identifications (i.e. what is a thing?) are at the root of the System; and 4) the system is meaningfully commutative. And one can hear it very clearly. Seeing is harder, though.
For these reasons, it is time to investigate the system itself.
