I suppose it is true that (western) musical harmony corresponds to a kind of ternary computing. The binary numbers correspond to octaves: powers of 2. The circle of fifths represents the presence or absence of a power of 3. Groupings of bits over these fifths create a combination of relative consonance and potential further resolution.

One-hot
What is beautiful in the harmonic system is that one-hot encodings are so fundamentally non-arbitrary.
Skimming
After a period of highlighting and detail, I had to get an overview of the chapters beyond chapter 4 in “TensorFlow for Deep Learning.” Convolutional Neural Networks look most promising, in passing. Meanwhile, I have to start poring over the statistical examples in Chapter 4 (see below: ‘Impediments’), to make sure I’ve got clear visions […]
Platform
The algorithm has been written in C. This is convenient in that the entirety of it can be reduced to unsigned short integers. Portable and permanent. However — ultimately the vector libraries of Python, along with the power of TensorFlow and other ML resources, must likely be the goal. C/C++ is better for integration with […]
