I am curious to explore various expert opinions on whether music exists as an intrinsic entity independent of our perception, or if it is a construct that becomes 'music' only through the process of human auditory perception. This discussion seeks to uncover the essence of music, considering the roles of physical sound properties and the psychological interpretation by the listener. I invite insights from various disciplines including philosophy, neuroscience, physics, and cultural studies to delve into this intricate query.

, neural network simulations suggest that the phenomena of consonance and dissonance, along with the foundational aspects of musical scales, are rooted in the physical properties of sound intertwined with the physiological and neurological characteristics of auditory perception. These properties of auditory perception play a crucial role in the emergence of consonance and dissonance patterns within synaptic weights, driven by the familiarity and influenced by the listener's perception and experience. Moreover, the evolution of musical instrument technology, along with other factors more familiar to experts in musicology, has prompted musicians to refine these fundamental perceptual patterns of musical scales into the practical and historical- and scales in use today.
