Is There a Difference Between Art and Science?

There is a constant oscillation between two fundamental states in music history. When things start to get a little bit too wild there tends to be a counter reaction and a tendency towards simplification. So it's interesting because it kind of implies that the entire system over time is oscillating around some sort of golden mean or something like that. I mean, not that that thing actually exists in some sense because it would move,. you know, where the appropriate place is is going to be dependent on the nature of the landscape at that point.
