The Question

At what point does rhythm become noise?

The same sequence can be heard as structured or chaotic depending on framing.

Why It Resists Closure

Pattern recognition is cognitive.

Speed up a rhythm and it becomes a tone. Slow it down and it becomes isolated events. The boundary between order and disorder is drawn by the listener, not the sound.
