THE CHINESE MAGIC SQUARE

When the notes, having been determined from the chart of Hexagrams, are placed in the appropriate places in the magic square, they can then be divided into odd and even numbers. When they are multiplied by 2 and by 3, they form a zig zag shape, which when filled in by the webbed structure creates a three dimensional shape.
This three dimensional shape crosses at 5, the symbol for man. Since time symbolizes odd numbers and space symbolizes even numbers, man appears to be caught between the interaction of time with space.
Musically, we have determined from other problems, that space expands, and is an ascending force, while time contracts and descends.
