from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence
Quote:A sequence can be thought of as a list of elements with a particular order. Sequences are useful in a number of mathematical disciplines for studying functions, spaces, and other mathematical structures using the convergence properties of sequences. In particular, sequences are the basis for series, which are important in differential equations and analysis. Sequences are also of interest in their own right and can be studied as patterns or puzzles, such as in the study of prime numbers.
Yeah, I don't find fiat denials to be particularly compelling as counter-arguments, especially when the first sentence of what you bring in as a supporting quote agrees with my claim: those random numbers are a list of elements with a particular (ascending) order. How does that not fit your definition?
Quote:I'm no musician, but the fact that he is employing the use of chords means he is not banging away randomly on the piano. The chords may be random notes, but they are still chords. And the harmony between the random notes is what's pleasing to the ear.
But the pleasing notes you're hearing, the sequence, is derived from a list of random notes, played on a random scale. That's sort of the point: it's a sequence, built out of random elements. The fact that it is a sequence doesn't detract from the fact that the elements within its set were made up on the spot.
Furthermore, I take it then that you agree with me when I say the significance one draws from that comes from the observer after the fact, and is not due to intentional design beforehand?
