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?

Your numbers may be in ascending order but they are not in sequential order. The Fibonacci sequence adds the last two numbers to get the next number, eg. 1,1,2,3,5,8,13, that's the sequence.

in your "sequence" of 1, 5, 8, 49, 65, 79, how do you get from 1 to 5? From 5 to 8?

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?

That would imply that anyone is capable of accomplishing the same thing. The man is a trained musician. Place a monkey at the piano and see if you get the same result.
