Music is perceived as having spatial structure — notes, chords, and melodies occupy specific positions or trajectories in three-dimensional space. A synesthete might experience a melody as a ribbon curving through the air, with higher notes further away and lower notes closer. This spatial mapping is stable and consistent, creating an internal architecture of music.
