Music … has important implications for metaphysical philosophy: It insists upon a broad conception of the external world, and the examples it provides of motion and time and space become as significant as those of science.

I have thought a hundred times as much about the quantum problem as I have about general relativity theory.

Although the mind is void … all things it … contains.

Phenomenological mechanics is a novel concept which applies time and motion concepts from physics to an understanding of the experience of movement and its related parameters at the purely phenomenological level. 

The fundamental premise of phenomenological mechanics is that selected principles and laws of physics may be applied analogously at the phenomenological level, to characterise the dynamic properties of experienced phenomena.

Phenomenological mechanics thus characterises the dynamic properties of experienced phenomena in terms of the laws of mechanics which govern the behaviour of physical bodies in the natural world.

Applied to phenomena which are experienced as occurring over time - for example, the experience of music, phenomenological mechanics provides a conceptual framework for characterising the experience of directional motion within such phenomena.

In the specific case of music, phenomenological mechanics thus provides a conceptual framework for characterising the phenomenon that music may be experienced as having directional i.e. forwards and backwards motion, experienced respectively, as development and resolution.
