I've found myself stalled on the current idea of a piece of work based on personal truths. Each time I expand beyond what I've posted I seem to find myself in dead ends for the character. While I konw the idea has legs it's not something I'm going to look at for a time to see if I can't expand upon it after removing myself from it.
I have, however, had an idea that I like. Now I have to recognise Pi, the awesome film for making this idea form. Music and math have a strog connection. In fact often music is justified by the mathmatics behind it, something I will not to go into as I am mid flow of a idea for a work of fiction. Basicly, what if mathmatics was flawed because true math was actully based on tone and rythem (both of which we use a form of maths to symbolise)? I'm aware this has been touched on before but I have this idea of perception also being a factor in the reality of mathmatics.
This is very basic thought at the moment ad to bring more to it I need to talk to people who have strong knowledge in mathmatics (I understand math but I'm not good enough to understand my own fiction in this area) and to people who understand music beyond the formulas present in western music and the ruules of eastern music (while I have a good ear I'm not educated in this area).
So if anyone is willing to help me expand this basic idea I'd be damned happy to hear from you or people you know. Person to person is perfect, I'm a vocal git, but email and other forms are fine.
I'm starting to think there is room in the idea for at the very least a commercial version of Pi and at beast a very interesting series of books.

To clarify, the idea of languge, math and of music are flawed as they are the same thing within the idea, also my "N" is temprimental. The fact is language is recogised as a limited form of communication as is music as both are socially bias. What if, in the setting of fiction, we assume that the arabic concept of 0 is flawed? That negative numbers are intrinsictly different from whole numbers? And that communicaion and math are the same thing? NNo idea where this is going but it's worth thought. Please also direct me to any other work with these ideas.

were you at the Sex Workers Open University events? I totally forgot to invite you, d'oh! Would have been interesting to meet. Though I wouldn't have helped you with the above issue.
