Vine (1971) examines different geometrical spacings of prey in order to determine their risk of visual detection and pursuit by a predator. In his first model, Vine considers a situation where there are n prey (es), each of body length I and all at a distance r from some predator P. This predator can detect a prey (occupying Z/r radians) if that prey is standing completely within 8, radians in ...

The results imply that a major role of embellishment tones may be to enhance the perceptual independence of the individual parts or voices. In addition, it is shown that Bach tends to distribu...
