- Empirical observation: Euclidean strings favored in classical/jazz/Persian music; reverse Euclidean strings have wider appeal; non-Euclidean rhythms used in sub-Saharan African music.
- Opening rhetorical question that encapsulates the paper's central claim: multiple domains share the principle of even distribution.
