Interdisciplinary connections - Consonantal Sonicity
Abstract:The need to understand the natural cyclicities and harmonic rhythms, from the macrocosmic scale, then found in the biosphere in the chain of trophic cycles, and finally in the animal plant species, where the harmonic rhythm is revealed from the social dynamics, to the individual, system, organ and finally at the intimate level of the dynamics of metabolism and cell division intimately orchestrated by the mysterious score of the genetic code. The laws of harmonic proportions based on recurring strings and positive / negative feedback loops seen as open stationary systems undoubtedly operate throughout this morphodynamic dimensional range.

The principles of sonicity based on the theory of the same name developed by the illustrious Romanian scientist, inventor and brilliant engineer George Constantinesco in the early twentieth century remains one of the lines of research insufficiently studied on the one hand by the unusual sonicity theory on the other hand related to technological supremacy in the turbulent context of the First World War. Sonicity thus remains a forgotten and very interesting source of current research in the research of the complex, nonlinear dynamics of the interaction of acoustic vibration (dissonant-consonant) with fluid matter, a theory based on rules related to musical harmony on the one hand, which in turn is under the auspices of the mysterious golden number, as well as on the other hand, of the quantification and modulation of fluid dynamics.
Thus the sonicity seen excessively through the prism of technological utilitarianism, in the sense of applied sciences loses precisely from its deep and unsuspected side, as a true and fertile source of research, frontier science, unique in its way by the still insufficiently explored depth of the relationship between vibration, resonance, the laws of harmony, the subtle nature of life and matter.
At the same time, along with the principles of sonicity based essentially on the complex dynamics of standing waves, corroborated with the harmonic cyclicity of the semi-open feedback loops postulated in cybernetic theory belonging to the illustrious scientist, pioneer in the field of biological automata, Dr. Ștefan Odobleja in The consonantist psychology, an exhaustive pioneering scientific work of a philosophical nature, with unsuspected implications and insufficiently or superficially understood.
Sonicity and cybernetics in the early stages remain sources and tools of great importance in the fertile exploration of the borders of the unknown, with fabulous theoretical implications.
Based on these considerations, the experimental use of devices that use acoustic lenses meant to modulate and that lead the train from condensed-dissipated sound waves (similar to the luminous flux from classical optics) as a result of which they are obtained in one-static fluids interfering, unique and intriguing in their own way, with a biomorphic appearance. Thus, as an interdisciplinary symbiotic corollary, the conformation of static waves made in liquids is based on the continuity inspired by the forerunners of these complex sciences, namely sonicity / cybernetics, cybernetics that otherwise follows medical phonoscopy (La Phonoscopie - Nouvelle Methode D'exploration Clinique, Paris 1935), elaborated in the 30s by Dr. Șt. Odobleja, of course, the research directions of the two scientists are of different orientation, however through experiment have created the fusion between sonicity and certain consonant laws deduced from cybernetics that are fully found, in an indissoluble fusion, at levels -static waves established in fluids, seen as quasi-stationary dissipative systems in an open loop, like living organisms…
The attempt to find bridges of truth, of style and scientific probity, between static waves with biological aspect and the morphology of the living, lead without a doubt to the studies of an impeccable academic form elaborated within the theory of biostructure by the Romanian scientist Eugen Macovschi in the well-known work Biostructura, 1969, or Natura și structura materiei vii, 1972.
Thus the triumvirate of these theories in chronological order sonicity then cybernetics and finally biostructure represent the basic core of the theory and experiments that build the theoretical premises and levers of the Universality of the vortex sphere principle, theory based on experimental empiricism and the close connection between living and non-living nature, stationary cyclicity thus seen as a common archetypal binder over the entire macro-meso-microcosmic dimensional range.
Internationally, as related fields we have the studies of musical acoustics, elaborated in the XVIII century by Ernst Chladni who studies the impact of sound on quartz sand powders, or lycopodium powder arranged on various metal plates of triangular, square, circular or cylindrical geometry, generically called Chladni's Figures, a rigorous study that highlights networks of bellies and nodes with complex geometric arrangement, thus visualizing the sound, later in the XIX century illustrious British scientist Michael Faraday studies the impact of sound on viscous fluids, in particular on various types of mineral oils, showing the relationship between frequency and sound intensity, corroborated by the viscosity index of the liquid, known in the literature as the generic name Faraday crispation, to the wavy surface of the vibrating liquid.
With the twentieth century, new confluence surveys are brought, covering forms of esoteric mysticism under the auspices of theosophy, anthroposophy, combined with experimental phenomenology based on the probity and rigor of Cartesian science under the name of Cymatics, founded by the Swiss anthroposophist Dr. Hans Jenny in 60. Last but not least are the secretive and sometimes overly mystified studies that belong to the charismatic self-taught engineer, the father of the vortex, Viktor Schauberger, a misunderstood and tumultuous visionary, who studies and realizes a series of inventions and innovations based on remarkable observations with meticulousness and genius in nature.
Thus described, the interdisciplinary maneuvering territory covers the network of connections extracted from the vast scope of nonlinear dynamics, rheology and complex relationships with stationary waves based on the fragile boundary between turbulence and the harmonious order of circular stationary cybernetic rhythms.
Viewed, in the light of these converging domains and directions, biological organisms, from the smallest cells, to social animals, to trophic cycles, are in fact open harmonic systems of consonant poly-stationary type, interdependently hierarchical, starting from at the biochemical, cellular, systemic and cerebral level, cognitive, biosphere, all superimposed synergistically, following from small to large and vice versa, the circular cybernetic laws in semi-open, stationary and synchronous loops, thus unequivocally demonstrating the cybernetic link stationary entanglement of the phenotype with the phenotype.
