Maybe, better, I should have written C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C, (Or, would you 
prefer a diagram of standard international musical notation? :-)
Note that the last three notes represent (anagrammatically :-) my cyclic 
energy based, fractal hyperspace theory of universal involution (at least in the 
first stages of Cosmic manifestation and inflation prior to the breaking of 
symmetry). Note, also, that each note in each octave is a doubling of the 
frequency of the previous octave. The word "natural" in music refers to those notes 
that are not sharped or flatted. And, these particular note sequences, that 
sound "natural" to us, also have a direct connection with the higher order 
fields of the mind where we experience musical harmonies and dissonance's. 

In addition, as I said before, the number seven also is the basis of the 
changes of action states of a pure sine wave, which can be sounded by a single 
vocal cord or plucked string tied at both ends. Which, incidentally, is 
analogous to the motion of any point on the circumference of a turning wheel (or the 
rotating Earth at its equator).

If that doesn't imply that these "whole" or natural notes have a direct 
connection with and occur in Nature, I don't know what does. </:-)>
