Its Not Ether Its Ei-Ther

they said there was no ether
only a frequency medium
a carrier of all that waves
 
well if there be no ether
then there has to be an ei-ther

words are sets
many meanings
within meanings

but there is a limit
before confusion
destroys order

the limit has a name
the feigenbaum constant
similarity in all natures cycles

like music notes
octaves and frequencies
the universe reality

all come into sync
with a medium-average
a frequency density

a mind is the perception
of sensed frequencies

it is sound of music
the universe plays

what's in a word
a medium
an average

colors of the rainbow
the shape of things
thought

words are like butterflies
they cause effects
order or confusion

Well done! You managed to avoid a snipe at Trump - until the comments. But seriously you have communicated, no matter the potential for confusion. Interesting thoughts

This piece makes me think of one of my favourite movies, “August Rush”. I like the vibrations you send out.

all sound chord notes, or light colors etc, are median frequency effects...in the same way a word can have many meanings which makes that frequency sound a valuable tool when trying to sway or entertain others ...chaos is the edge where-in a note becomes noise in the wrong tune, or a word is used 'beyond its scale' and so the speaker's sounds are but ramble (eg. t-rump)
