Craig, you have just explained to me the basis of my discalculia. No one else
has ever managed to do that in all my 57 years.
Music was always instantaneously understandable to me because of the way it
gained my deep sensory participation whereas mathematics was always just a
bunch of squiggles on paper that to me were as dry as dust and as terrifyingly
remote as Egyptian hieroglyphs. Math evoked no sensuous universe of qualia -
for me. I have often felt that for those with a high degree of numeracy, that
the hieroglyphs of mathematics evoke the same sensory participation as music
does for me. Bruno, for example composes and reads mathematical sentences with
the same ease as I have in listening to even quite complex music and writing it
down from ear in standard music notation. I sometimes refer to myself as a
"mathemusician".
I'll now watch the clip you posted!
