Guarded pages should stay maximally true to the theory's concepts and terms. This is because music theory by nature includes the value judgments of the theorist. | ||
In contrast, mathematical constructions, even if originally developed in close association with that theory, may be described in a more idiosyncratic style (if necessarily, a more conventionally mathematical one), with the proviso that it must be (accessibly!) transparent as to what the construction is guaranteed to satisfy and what it is not. | In contrast, mathematical constructions, even if originally developed in close association with that theory, may be described in a more idiosyncratic style (if necessarily, a more conventionally mathematical one), with the proviso that it must be (accessibly!) transparent as to what the construction is guaranteed to satisfy and what it is not. | ||
