- From my memo -
Music is art which takes sensitivity for the way.
Poem is art which takes understanding for the way.
Glass Bead Game is art which takes reason for the way.
In art which takes reason for the way must reasons be represented freely.
We use a law or a work which comes into existence for the real world
in this art,
because reason as ability does not touch direct the real world.
Reason is presented in science as to a phenomenon,
in art as to appearance.

The entity of the Glass Bead Game is possibility of the things.
For example,sound to music is the entity of music.
Fact of the Glass Bead Game is the means of possibility.
For example,a instrument to music is fact of music.
Reason is represented through possibility of the things
in the Glass Bead Game.
(Oct.2 2001)
One of the grounds the Glass Bead Game is possible by
is possibility of the reflection judgment
to the cultural properties.
