another idea that's been developed is that at some point in human evolution, probably, roughly around the time that Homo Sapiens emerged, there was a slight rewiring of the brain, which provided a compute, a mechanism of computation of discrete infinity; recursive functions that generate, that recursively generate an infinite number; discrete infinity of structures. And that this one then applied in language and applied arithmetic, maybe applied in music. Some think it was applied in moral systems. Well these are all researchable topics.

When I queried Professor Chomsky about the noncommutative music alternative of Alain Connes - he replied he wished he had the time to research the topic.
So he's not dismissing it - even though he has relied on the traditional "discrete infinity" of symmetric mathematics thus far.
My claim is that this ties into his political economics critique as well - in other words his concept of human freedom as well.

Arithmetic could be piggy-backing on the system that's already there. But what about music. There is some interesting work, trying to show that the basic properties of musical systems are similar to the structural properties of linguistic systems. Quite interesting work on that. Maybe that will come out.
