Further Fripp Reading

[Douglas Baldwin <coyotelk@optonline.net>]

For those of you interested in Robert Fripp's struggle with that tumor identified as the music industry:

In his online diary (http://www.dgmlive.com/diaries.htm?entry=22327 ) he writes:

 

"Resolution of any problem requires decision-making from the floor above where the dispute is taking place. For example:
 
a dispute among apprentices needs input from the Craftsperson;
a dispute among Craftspersons needs input from the Master / Mystere;
a dispute among Masters requires input from the Genius, the primary Creative Mover in the particular field of endeavor.

Something like, a Meta Solution is needed from the Person in contact with the largest Present Moment of the process under consideration."

 

Classic Frippish structure, a Systematics-derived  tetrad, which reminds me strongly of Godel's incompleteness theorum.
