contents <p>No organism ever experiences the same piece of music the same way twice. Musical experience exhibits radical multiplicity: repeated encounters with the same musical composition generate distinct phenomenal realities. Radical multiplicity emerges as a necessity from finite and variable attention recursively sampling high-dimensional attentional space. Each moment of listening occupies a distinct attentional state; each encounter unfolds as a succession of such states, tracing a unique attentional trajectory through attentional space. Compositions function as probabilistic constraint-surfaces: landscapes of likelihood that structure attentional space, guiding attention without determining specific paths. From this architecture, identical trajectories are vanishingly improbable, yielding the phenomenology of inexhaustibility, interpretive diversity, and revisitation. The framework generalizes, providing theoretical foundations for attention-driven signal processing across phenomenological, computational, and neuroscientific paradigms.</p>
