storytelling
This is from The Triumph of Narrative by Robert Fulford.
Mark Turner ...In his book The Literary Mind...argues that telling stories is not a luxury or a pastime but part of the developing intelligence....the brain organizing itself.

storytelling and significant form
Mark Turner has the theory that stories teach us to think...."they are the way the brain organizes itself....We pull together fragments and find meaning by connecting many elements...Robert Fulford , in his book The Triumph of Narrative,(Massey Lectures).

This is from Roald Nasgaard's book ABSTACT PAINTING IN CANADA :
For Brooker ,music and geometry were inexticably linked:
"I shamelessly used a ruler and compasss trying to compose on the canvas some sort of replica of the colour,the volume and the rhythm I experienced when listening to music.There were shapes in some of the earlier pictures ,but they were not objects in the ordinary sense--they were not nouns--you couldn't name them.Most of the shapes were floating areas of colour---They were verbs,representing action and movement ---and when in some cases,they came close to recognition as objects,such as spheres and rods or peaks,these were only intended as the path or climax or culmination of a movement,not its finish."
and later
" ....his choice of geometry...applicable as a means to expose the structure of dematerialized dynamic relations.....aesthetic experience of significant form."
