Hi Craig Weinberg There are some descriptive theories of music but no prescriptive theories.

I think that is true of any form of expression or communication, since the formations which are used to induce the experiences (of music, art, poetry, etc) in the audience are constructed from material manipulations in spacetime. Anytime something has to be expressed externally, it has to be packaged with arithmetically coherent protocols. That doesn't of course mean that music "is" those protocols, only that any production of music can be analyzed arithmetically. Without an experience of sound associated with the arithmetic, there is nothing but a conceptual sculpture of abstraction.
