However, other organizational principles must be considered when music is played in real time. On this particular point, I have proposed a model based on a mechanism of cue abstraction, where two fundamental principles - the principle of similarity and the principle of difference - come into play in listening over long time spans. A number of experimental procedures based on the hvpothesis of cue abstraction in relation to the concept of Anticipation are described, but particular emphasis is given on the role of similarity-difference perception. Starting from cue abstraction, a categorization process of the musical material is immediately established on the basis of exact or varied repetitions of the abstracted structures. Progressively, all these more or less varied reiterations elaborate a memory imprint : the memory does not retain all the precise components of the material, but establishes some sort of summary which comprises the principal attributes of a set of percepts. The results of different experimental approaches that followed these methodological principles are summarised.

This can be interpreted as a primary form of anticipation learning. The behaviour of the sequential organic molecules with a high combinatorial potential gives rise to several features which are isomorphic with those of semiotic systems, and text. Organism is a text to itself since it requires reading and re-presentation of its own structures for its existence, e.g., for growth and reparation, it also uses reading of its memory when functioning. This defines an organism as a self-reading text. Anticipation is a property which primarily appears in autocatalytic cycles. For textual autocatalytic systems, anticipation could be represented as a sign. Fri, 28 Jun 2024 14:01:01 +0200 Fri, 28 Jun 2024 14:01:12 +0200 http://popups.lib.uliege.be/1373-5411/index.php?id=594
