It seems to me that the power of the green ecomomy to "turn things around" involves the notion of a large number of people "resonating" in such a way as to produce very large economic gains or shifts.

Mathematically, one way to achieve a resonance is through phase locking where individual members are temporally joined in a common type of behavior. Resonance in this scenario is broken when the members behavior's start to cancel each other out during a temporal period - members are working at cross purposes to each other.

If you decide that you want to achieve resonance, then a further obvious question you need to ask yourself is how would you would like to achieve such resonance? One way would be to use "coercive" techniques like new laws and regulations. One might contrast "coercive" techniques with "market" techniques where phase locking is through incentive systems between consumers, businesses, and governments.

We might be able to take this analysis of market incentive systems further by using a specific resonance model that is mathematically formalized in one domain (musical resonance) and seeing how it aligns with important aspects of another domain (economic resonance).

A "musicalogical theory of the green economy" might work like this:

• Musical resonance refers to the temporal entrainment of behavior achived through musical means.
• Musical theory tries to explain such behavior, in part, by analyzing the acoustic signal associated with the entrained behavior and pointing out correlations.
• The mathematics used to analyse a musical signal is very advanced and is able to elegantly represent high-level phenomenon such as a musical instruments. One can relate entained behavior to the "actions" of musical instruments.
• Consumers, businesses, and governments can be modelled as three types of musical instruments (i.e., the mathematics used to represent musical instruments can be used to represent the attributes of and the interactions between consumers, businesses and government).
• A theory of economic resonance would model consumers, business, and government as three different types of musical instruments played together in such a way as to achieve the current resonant ecomomic state.

The book Elements of Computer Music (1990) by Richard Moore discusses algorithms and C language programs that implement musical instruments. My claim is that these same algorithms and programs can be used to model the economic forces at play in the current ecomony and to make predictions.

Further investigation is needed into the formalized concept of a musical instrument (coupled oscillators, additive synthesis, subtractive synthesis) to see if a musicalogical theory of the green economy is worth pursuing further. This could also just turn out to be an exercise in word play.

Stay tuned ...
