Benedict,

You're totally correct. The world is pure variation, but there are many analogous terms; change, dis-caosification, evolution, progress, entropy, time... It is all of existence (and of non-existence). 'ta ta ta taaa' is a perfect arranging of toning and timing, and the mixture of these two is variation. Variation, we can say, is the compound of harmony and transition.
