Can Music Be a Weapon? The Secret Physics of War

This paper investigates the shared physical and mathematical structures underlying music and warfare, focusing on vibration, resonance, and energy transfer. Building on the author’s interdisciplinary research in mathematical poetics and cognitive mapping, it argues that both musical sound and military force operate as formal systems governed by proportionality, oscillation, and threshold dynamics. By tracing a historical trajectory from pre‑modern mechanical weapons to industrialized and early autonomous systems, the study shows how vibrational logic shifts from aesthetic organization to strategic instrumentation. The article concludes with an ethical reflection on the algorithmic formalization of vibration in contemporary warfare.
