Still Open - Ended...

I have re-read the music article, and I still think music is indefinable, as with art. Across cultures music holds different meanings and rules of composition creating totally different sounds and properties, but it is all recognized as music. There will always be attempts to create some complete explanation. However, we cannot define music with absolute rules; the equation must allow enough dynamic for future developments in creativity and also the mediums of expression.

Perhaps, along the lines of my definition of art, music can be defined as creatively organized (i.e., intentional) sound.
