Of course, I never claimed it was a universal description.
My point was not that we should create only simple music, but rather that we should understand how simple music is created, before jumping into anything more complex than that, or even into a general solution like so many people into procedural generation seem to jump into. You need to understand the craft itself other than just understanding the theory.
Musical styles are not unconstrained. If you want it to produce procedural Carnatic Music, you can replace my description of western music with the equivalent for it, like zozbot234 started doing. Then you'll have a starting point.
