Toward a gauge theory of musical forces

  • How well does a given pitch fit into a tonal scale or key, being either a major or minor key? This question addresses the well-known phenomenon of tonal attraction in music psychology. Metaphorically, tonal attraction is often described in terms of attracting and repelling forces that are exerted upon a probe tone of a scale. In modern physics, forces are related to gauge fields expressing fundamental symmetries of a theory. In this study we address the intriguing relationship between musical symmetries and gauge forces in the framework of quantum cognition.
