Doubling (halving) of vibration is a process by the name of octave. In this process, there are two critical passes to make. Though there is something missing, notable change of quality comes about, despite the fact that the vibration doesn't change that much at all, yes, it changes less than usual. Going from MI to FA or from SI to DO in music perfectly illustrates this point.

In these two crises something must be supplied from the outside, something must be added, some help must be given or asked for, something has to be pushed on, somebody has to be encouraged, some pain-killer must be consumed, decision made, declaration issued, special action performed, more effort invested, mind be changed, and so on.

Is there in the color spectrum anything that would resemble this? Yes. I've become thoroughly frustrated trying to squeeze something out of it. Anything else? Well, yes. There are places where color (quality) changes rapidly where wavelength (quantity) doesn't change that much. To us, red is one color, orange another, yellow another. They are all mutualy different qualities. (Proof (one of them): the language we use to name these qualities itself. Quod erat...) Yet, they seem too close - particularly yellow and orange - to make it all into any one-octave=twelve-ticks system, regardless of starting point, inside or outside conventional prescriptions.

This fact leaves us two practical possibilities for constructing an octave over the color scale: B flat has to be declared either DO or FA. And if such a construction succeeds, numerous new possibilities open, such as determining place in thus constructed octave of the color and tone of, say, Platonic year. Time is breath, and breath is regular in and out, and regular rhythm of in and out is vibe, oscillation, and Platonic year is predictably humming umpteen octaves below F with its period of 26000 years or so.

There are only two possibilities that don't leave good honest orange out. The first would make Platonic year into a DO, and the second names it SOL. The first covers the color range in true scientific no-nonsense manner, and the second breaks it and twists it and complicates unnecessarily. (It does other crazy things too.)

Sigh. I personally know which to choose without much thinking. But... is there an objective criterion (or at least something else to rely upon other than personal taste/opinion) on which to base the choice?

Let's look at the possibilities once again. 1st: F becomes DO and B flat becomes FA. 2nd: F becomes SOL and B flat becomes DO.

Ok, we have two possibilities, one question. Let's have two questions! The second question asks: would I accept solution that I don't like if I knew that it was objectively the right one? The third: what is to accept? The fourth: which 'I'? The fifth: is there an 'I' whose very nature is acceptance? Is there an 'I' which can make use of objective standards? How to make it conscious and work from it? Would there be this choice for such an 'I' at all?

Two possibilities, eight questions, one action: cancellation. Did you mention possibilities? I didn't. What's possibility anyway? Somebody mentioned questions? Didn't hear anything. But now that you bring it up, it might be of some theoretical interest. Questions, questions. Wonder what does it mean. Interesting word, question. Maybe it does mean something in some crazy language, you never know. There are many languages.

So, what we have is the following:
do - yellow (fine yellow)
re - green (excellent green)
mi - blue (great blue)
-- - extra delicate purplish blue
fa - between blue and purple, indigo, and because now almost nothing more is going to happen on this side, you can say violet
sol- not much (quite dark, you see, invisible, so to speak)
la - red (totally reddish)
si - orange-red (marvellous outstanding color)
-- - got you finally, orange

Applying some routine research cosmetics to the data, and unrolling from top to the bottom, ladies and gentlemen, here are nine traditional colors:

yellow
-orange
orange-red
red
black
violet
-indigo
blue
green

If tenth hue, "white", is put over the yellow or below green, cycling shift by 5 in either direction will approximately take you to what is called complementary of a given hue. This is purely accidentaly acquired property of the 9/10 table and was not incorporated on purpose. Thus it must not be understood in a sense that there were white between green and yellow, yet it helps process of visualizing the Table, embedded in white. Don't forget that black is artificialy introduced in the place of SOL due to limitation of our sight, whereas the true hue is probably between red and violet. There are five semitones that are not entered in the table, and with two schocks removed I'm sure that complementary technique would work and could be used to finely tune the hues. All this sounds like splendid perspective for further work, but the Committee on the contrary thinks that now not much more than what is here can be done until we are supplied with either accurate spectrum data or better eyes. Indeed, Committee fully supports the following maxim of one of its founders, Archy M. Medes. Archy said: "Give me the wavelength in terms of three primary colors and I will move earth from its place."

This is now International Focus Committee for Septaparaparshimokonkh Research irrevocable and everywhere valid Standard for this Work until better is found. So, if you are not of those who believe that training and multiplying our troops and arming them from top to toe with most modern humanitary edge-cutting technology is contributing to our security and is essential for creating of necessary conditions for harmonious development of Man, if celebrating colored eggs is not seen by you as summit of year's religious and cultural progress, if you are not thanking God that His Son has gone to the devil so many years ago that He cannot see what you are and what you are doing, these Directives now issued are of no use to you. They are not meant for you and they never were. You could not understand them and they would only be a nuissance to you. But if, by virtue of your state of being, you are obliged to heed them, you belong to a very rarely spread, yet powerful minority. For every member of this Community, this Directive now issued is fully valid. If a member does not, say, connect MI with blue in his thought consciously, then he or she is by virtue of universal operation of Omnipresent Law excluding himself from further development, connected with Focus Committee for this Research, which in turn was from the very first beginnings founded, guided and nourished by this same Committee.
