Fereydoon Motamed

In 1946 he immigrated to the United States and earned his Master of Arts degree from Columbia University in New York City with his major in French literature.

Later on, he devoted his life to research in the aesthetics of the temporal time in relation to the Indo-European languages and quantitative Meter (poetry), and he was the author of four books on that topic, the last of which is unpublished.

His book De la metrique was honored to enrich the Nobel Library at Svenska Akademiens Nobelbibliotek, Börshuset, Stockholm, Sweden.

His next book "Précis Logistique de l'harmonie métrique",[2] published in 1963, is a complement on the scientific aspects of temporal proportions viewed as harmonic rings and sets.

The structured approach which finally led him to the Greek linear musical scales and harmonics and consequently to the cybernetic models regulating the rings of aesthetic group, deals evidently with the intensive forms of diachronic harmony; however, he believed that in languages where the short syllables are more frequent than the long ones (referring to the duration without any other arbitrary engagement which may be added to it) extensive diachronic eurythmy is in fact not only practicable, but very valuable too.
