Though the structures and patterns of mathematics reflect the structure of, and resonate in, the human mind every bit as much as do the structures and patterns of music, human beings have developed no mathematical equivalent to a pair of ears.

It is as if we had no sense of hearing, so that only someone able to sight read music would be able to appreciate its patterns and harmonies.
