21 days agoI think it is safe to say that OP’s question was lay speak for “what is the mean time to get to a result”. Other than that I don’t think you actually addressed the question.
Let me try to get it started:
Randomly generating music might be akin to password cracking. Cracking short or simple passwords can be very fast, while cracking long or complex passwords can be very long. The rate of password guessing also affects the time to get a result.
To calculate an answer, we need the following information:
- Guessing speed (how fast is each “song” generated and checked?)
- Minimum “song” length that needs to be generated
- Complexity of “song”: how many instruments (“voices”), resolution (are whole notes only ok, or do we need. Half or quarter notes?)
- Settle on some subjective definition of “song”. Is S.O.S. in morse code a “song”
You might be able to take a genre of music, and decompose the songs within to get some answers… I don’t have the time for that. Anyone want to take a stab at estimating the calculation?
The left-right linear political spectrum is a simplified fiction. I think it is a waste of time to try to fit people on this spectrum.
