:::::::::::::::::::::::: I think I know one of the problems we're having- the fact is that differing fields of study use the same words in different ways and with different meanings. That might be contributing to our communication issues just between the two of us. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 23:46, 7 December 2020 (UTC) | :::::::::::::::::::::::: I think I know one of the problems we're having- the fact is that differing fields of study use the same words in different ways and with different meanings.

::::::::::::::::::::::::: I don't think it's a significant problem. Indeed, some people are very much confined to the "profession", then it's difficult, and in practice often an unsolvable problem. It's important to see that the world is only one, and all those "here in chemistry is not like there in physics" reflects more the cognitive limitations of people. As to us, I see that we can resolve such problems. The lack of some parts of education or weak understanding of certain things — this can be a serious problem, not terminology. — [[User:SAKryukov|SA]], ''Monday 2020 December 7, 23:55 UTC'' | |||
::::::::::::::::: Now, about the problem, how "exactly to program complicated tonal values". First, the problems are solved using the "divide and conquer" method and "separation of concerns". In particular, tone values can be abstracted from the technical means of sound production. Another thing is: it's good to "think by hands". (In our case, "hands" is the generalization of several things: hands, fingers, hearing, etc.) When you don't understand how to solve the problem, of, course, think about understanding but also start working with incomplete understanding and uncertainties. As you try, you can get a better feeling of the problem, will be able to get rid of some illusionary ideas and get new ones... Moreover, in some analogous ways, I many times recommended people to... avoid reading literature. Here is what I mean: it's good to try to solve a problem from scratch by yourself. Why? First, you won't miss a pretty rare chance of inventing something really new. More realistically, when you read, you don't quite understand reading at first, because the illusionary understanding is quite common, besides, you can be affected by some well-established ideas and reduce your chances for a fresh look. And when you tried hard and broke some of your teeth at the problem, you can use what you learned, and then you will ready with much better understanding. — [[User:SAKryukov|SA]], ''Monday 2020 December 7, 04:01 UTC'' | ::::::::::::::::: Now, about the problem, how "exactly to program complicated tonal values".
