Modeling the World

The subject matter of modeling the world is very intrigueing because it is awe-inspiring to think that many objects such as a bush can be written with a certain mathematical code. The coding of of objects strikes me in a deep way because numbers are almost like an imaginary object and is in no way a physical object. Changing one number can influence the outcome of a model which is an interesting thing because if someone messes up one simple digit or letter like in HTML it can influence the outcome of the model.

Exactly! In this graduate music informatics class that I am taking this semester, the professor is teaching us how to model music on the computer-well, written music is also another kind of model for actual music!
