Is this consistent with Diana's concept of "the possibility of basic 
disagreement at the perceptual level," in matters musical?

Also consider: a composer "in agreement" with some sort of universalized 
perception code would probably tend
to create music exactly conformant to existing patterns of musical 
structure. The composer who invents a new style is probably someone
with a rather uncommon, if not unique,. perceptual style.  In the visual 
arts  this seems certain.
