Music logic

I have never been good with words. Other than the obvious suspicion of expressive language disorder, the real annoyance is that I am left with whole heap of theories and points that I find hard to express or formulate into words.

One of them is my theory of music logic.

I believe that just like normal logic, there's a grammar-like rule that helps us understand music, or "complex non-linguistic auditory signals". Our preference of music depends very much on these music logic. We all find some music mollifying and others utter noise, and according to my music logic theory, some music 'makes sense' to us while others do not. Obviously the type of music that makes sense will appear much more soothing and resonate stronger with us.

Music logic allow us to listen to a piece of music, 'agree' to its melody and 'predict' what is coming up. Like when you are in tune with someone's thought process, you can finish their sentence. The harmony between the music and our intrinsic music logic means that we find the piece very favourable to our brains.

I believe that the music logic as I call it can be learned like grammar of a language. So when we are exposed to a new piece or new type of music that we have not previously heard or enjoy, we may resist it at first. But as more exposure and repetition drum it into us, the new logic may stick and starts to 'make sense', consequently become enjoyable.

I have based this thinking on my own experience where, I have only been exposed to classical music as a kid, then old mushy 70s, 80s love songs, and rock in late teen years. Each time it took a while to make the transit, but once 'understood' I enjoyed the genre fully.

I am sure there is a term already coined for this 'music logic', if anyone well-versed with music theory know what it is called, please let me know.
