We apply the Information-Theoretic Unification (ITU) framework (Terada 2026, concept DOI 10. 5281/zenodo. 20109209; Tier 0 v3. 0 at 10. 5281/zenodo. 20200156) tomusic and visual arts. Tier 1 paper #34, the fourth paper of Pass-1 extension, Block C 2/6 (social/humanities/arts) following #33 Linguistics. Introduces Kₘusic + Kₐrts across 8 sub-states (acoustic, theory, perception, composition, AI music, visual, AI art, culture). ITU axiom delta S = delta verified to machine precision (relₑrr = 0) in 11 contexts. THEORETICAL BREAKTHROUGH: Diffusion models (DDPM, Stable Diffusion, DALL-E, Midjourney) are literal computational realizations of ITU K-state descent. The reverse diffusion process directly implements score functiongradₓ log p (x) = K-state gradient in modular Hamiltonian sense.
