Abstract
Music composition is treated as a repetitive decision making process, and represented using the hypernetwork model, the proposed model. The hypernetwork model allows more specific description of relationships among represented entities than conventional knowledge representation models such as semantic network. Music composition of a musical piece of 100 measures (performance duration of 6-8 minutes) by a professional composer is analyzed based on the description of decisions involved. Musical piece represented as musical scores are represented with hypernetwork model where the decisions are the representational units. Single or multiple decisions are related with other decisions, and quantitative similarity based on relationality among decision sequences provided by the hyperlink model enables the discrimination of various types and degrees of similarity.
