<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Once more, a consensus is emerging about what we discuss in
this chatgroup, namely <b>information and its manifold appearances</b> on
different levels: on the abstract, detached, un-individual level as well as on
the level that is a part of one’s own, individual, personal experiences.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Pedro’s story about the empathic, nonverbal communication happening
between humans, who share each other’s emotional state, drives a point home
that is clearly observable in a fashion where one can relate his experiences
and be sure that others will understand him. The main point is that <b>art is
interpersonally communicable, </b>and by this criterium can be shown to be a
part of objective reality. (We refer to the agreement that if a concept is
referrable to interpersonally and the participants agree on what they have
experienced in a common fashion, that concept has an inter-individual
existence, which is then by definition a part of the objective reality.)<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><b>Examples </b>abound, where signs and symbols are
understood interpersonally in a common fashion. Human new-borns share the
instinctive ability to recognise the optical picture of a smiley (<span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif">😊</span>), and of the pitch of the human voice (they
prefer alto to soprano to baritone to bass). We use the term ‘<i>supra-normal
stimuli</i>’ to refer to such constellations of stimuli that appear to be
hard-wired into our genetic instinctive predispositions. Animals are evidently
in possession of large inventories of potential supra-normal stimuli
(‘triggering inputs’). <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The <b>hypothesis </b>is that there exist structures
(constellations of facts) in Nature which evolution has made use of to select
those individuals which recognise such to their advantage. These structures are
a) communicable inter-individually, b) describable by means of a language that
is independent of its speaker: that is, such impression patterns are
objectively existing. Art is a different name for supra-normal stimuli.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><b>Where does art begin</b> and how does art differ to a
random collection of facts? For formal reasons, one should include sunshine
among the constituents of art, as evidenced by the heliotaxia of sunflowers. It
is evident, that supra-normal stimuli, that is: art, can come in a wide variety
of articulations, be it the mating dance of cranes, the melody of frogs’
chants, the form of nests built by weaver birds or the color patterns of
octopus. (If memory serves right, some 50 years ago, girls had a tendency of
emitting a fragrance that caused the writer of these lines to want to be near
them.)<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><b>Art is a variation on a theme </b>by Nature, where there
exists an underlying theme (the idealised target value) to which the actual
performance comes near, nearer or smack in the ideal centre. We suppose that
there exists an ideal form for performing the artwork (the ultimate Song of A
Lonely Frog, an optimal Hole in A Tree to Invite Females to Lay Eggs In, etc),
and that those individuals which come nearest to the ideal variant have the
best chances of progeniture.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Here again, <b>Discrepancies Between Ideal and Observed
Values</b> show us Art to be nothing different to other forms of Information. Information
is the extent of being otherwise, and Art is in its essence nothing but a
demonstration of an Observed Value, to which we look (imagine, project,
hallucinate) into the background the Expected Value. <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The only <b>epistemological difficulty </b>comes from our
traditional cultural convention, namely that Nature – and as such, the Background
to everything and all – is <b>not pre-structured.</b> During Renaissance, in
the age of emerging Rationality, the decision has been taken to define that
there exist no <b>a-priori existing structural relations </b>among the concepts
that we use to build up our world view. This decision was practical and helpful
at that time, because by this cleaning of the slate we have eliminated all
superstition, anthropogenic explanations, religious teleological systems of
beliefs, witchcraft and sorcery at the same time. Yet, it appears we have
cleaned the table too much. Leptons, quarks, charms, chemical attraction,
gravitation, etc., and also the existence of artwork in the living subsection
of Nature show that there indeed do exist relations among logical tokens, even
if we create such logical tokens as nondescript as we can, in the form of
natural numbers. Even if we dream up a world view that is made up of synthetic,
unform, nondescript units, even in that environment, a-priori existing
relations pop up, as soon as we do anything with them which a child would do
when bored, like ordering, sorting ad resorting these same tokens. We cannot
avoid acknowledging the existence of a-priori relations connecting in manifold
ways the tokens we make up our world of. <i>(Et expellas furcam, natura
recurrit.)<span></span></i></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><b>Summary: </b>Art is shown to be one of readings of the
idea that there are at least two readings of the same collection of symbols
that make up our world view. In regulation theory, one speaks of sets of target
values vs sets of actual values. In art, the set of target values is created by
our neurology and serves as the background, to which we relate the set of actual,
observed values. <span></span></p>

l’energia immagazzinata al suo interno (<i>relatività ristretta</i>). La
struttura dello spazio è influenzata dalla massa o dall’energia degli oggetti
qualunque sia la posizione in cui si collocano. Più massa e/o energia si
concentrano in un punto, più lo spazio e il tempo si curvano intorno ad esso (<i>relatività
generale</i>). Albert Einstein intuisce con geniale fantasia (qualcuno sostiene
che egli abbia utilizzato abbondantemente il pensiero di Henri Poincarè) che
tutta la «massa-energia» in un’area sia in relazione funzionale con lo «spazio-tempo»
vicino o, con uno schematismo simbolico, che energia-massa = spazio-tempo. La <i>E</i>
e la <i>m</i> di <i>E </i>= <i>mּc</i><sup>2</sup> divengono due elementi che
stanno su un unico lato di questa nuova e più profonda equazione. Tale generalizzazione,
con la stessa mediazione o finzione simbolica, può estendersi con qualche
cautela e superando il tarlo dell’incredulità irriducibile, alla formula di
capitalizzazione <i>V </i>= <i>R<sub>n</sub>ּ</i>1<i>/r</i> legata da un’appassionante associazione isomorfica
con l’equazione della relatività ristretta. Anzi, l’isomorfismo
fisico-economico delle due formule viene convalidato e reso più convincente
proprio da questa interpretazione estensiva che dà ampiezza ed applicazione
superiore alla generalizzazione, assegnando allo spazio-tempo una funzione di
cerniera epistemica tra le due accoppiate: valore-energia (monetaria)
dell’economia e materia-energia (fisica) della natura. Si può scrivere quindi: <i>R<sub>n</sub></i>
= <i>Vּr </i>= energia-massa = spazio-tempo = <i>mּc</i><sup>2</sup> = <i>E</i>
oppure 1/<i>r </i>= <i>V</i>/<i>R<sub>n</sub></i> = spazio-tempo = energia-massa
= <i>m</i>/<i>E</i> = 1/<i>c</i><sup>2</sup>. </span></p>

<i>fondo</i> di valore, operata dal co-efficiente di capitalizzazione 1/<i>r</i>,
manifesta la dualità dinamica dell’essere valore e dell’essere reddito di un
bene capitale o dell’essere spazio (integrazione) e dell’essere punto
(derivazione) che si rivela sorprendentemente analoga alla relazione tra
l’essere materia e l’essere energia della stessa realtà fisica secondo l’equazione
della relatività ristretta. La somiglianza delle due form(-ul)e matematiche
appare incredibilmente forte alla <i>luce</i> della musicale e misteriosa uni-dualità
spazio-tempo che è fondamentale sia per la capitalizzazione o solidificazione dei
redditi (economici) che dell’energia (naturale). Come la natura corpuscolare e
la natura ondulatoria sono due forme (diverse), una implicante l’altra in un
approccio uni-duale alla stessa realtà fisica, l’essere flusso di redditi e
l’essere fondo di capitale sono due forme (diverse) costituenti
un’interpretazione uni-duale della stessa realtà economica che può
rap-presentarsi <i>solo</i> in unità discrete di valore <i>R<sub>n</sub>ּ</i>1/<i>r</i>.
E dato che l’energia è in-formazione della natura e l’in-formazione è energia
della cultura il triangolo della figura 7.1 può essere ri-scritto secondo la

legge della termodinamica permette. In tal modo i buchi neri non evaporano o

contiene anche gli altri «stati coesistenti». Queste considerazioni di fisica

</div>
<div>Dear Pedro and FIs Colleagues,<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You raised an interesting and important
issue of emotions in art. This made me think about how it is that
art evokes/intensifies our emotions. <br>
From my research it follows that art (the essence of art) in the
most general/abstract sense is the compression of information
(contained in a work of art) thanks to which our perception saves
energy, becomes more economical (cost-effective), e.g. a shorter
text is more economical/compressed than a longer one containing
the same amount of information. Thanks to this saving of energy
(effort) we feel satisfaction, pleasure. This pleasure is related
to our development, because saving energy obviously contributes to
our development, which is our greatest value. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>These positive emotions related to our
development can be considered abstract because they have no
“direction”, they do not concern any concrete sphere of reality
but the abstract development itself (increase in complexity).
These absolutely abstract emotions, however, always occur in
conjunction with more or less concrete realities, because we
cannot experience both absolute abstraction and absolutely
abstract (pure) art. The diversity of art comes from the necessity
of the presence of different concrete realms/objects/media of
reality in works of art. Each work/type of art speaks differently
about what they have in common - what art is in essence, which is
contrast, complexity, compression of information, development or
value. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The type of emotion depends on what
specific realm of reality the compression of information refers
to. If it is, for example, a landscape painted by an artist, we
should like it more than an (uncompressed) natural landscape. The
same is the case with all other emotions - they are intensified
thanks to the compression of information - associated with them.
The most abstract art is music, which is why it is often difficult
for us to associate it with known/conscious emotions. However,
connections with reality also occur here, mainly in the structural
sphere. That is why, for example, different pieces of music are
performed on different occasions. To sum up, we can say that art
can be made of anything if we include information compression.
However, compression alone does not tell us about the value/size
of art because one can compress a larger (more difficult to
compress/organize) area or a smaller area to the same degree. The
compressed larger area (of information) has more complexity and
aesthetic value, which can be equated with value in general - as
discussed in the presentation.<br>
<br>
P.S. As a budding artist and art theorist I encountered a
knowledge of art that relied mainly on closer and further
metaphors. There was also a belief that only such knowledge was
possible. For example, it was said that a work of art "gives us
energy" which of course was treated as a metaphor. The attempt to
understand this metaphor led me to the conclusion that it is not
about receiving energy but about saving it and that energy is not
a metaphor but a physical value, which was confirmed by studies in
perception, information theory and physics.<br>

<div>Dear Mariusz and FIs Colleagues,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>May I disturb this calm vacation
state and introduce some "contrast"? For the sake of the
discussion, the Theory & Practice of Contrast presented may
be considered as a pretty valid approach to visual arts, also
extended to a diversity of other fields in science &
humanities. let me warn that the overextension of a decent
paradigm is a frequent cause of weakening the initial paradigm
itself. The Darwinian cosmovision is a good example. One can
read in a book of Peter Atkins:<i> “</i><i>A great deal of the
universe does not need any explanation. Elephants, for
instance. Once molecules have learnt to compete and to create
other molecules in their own image, elephants, and things
resembling elephants, will in due course be found roaming
around the countryside</i><i>... </i><i>Some of the things
resembling elephants will be men.” </i>I am not comfortable
at all with that type of bombastic paradigm overextension--but
maybe it is my problem. Finally it is the explanatory capability
of the attempt what counts (which in Atkins case is close to
nil). In any case, the co-ligation of disciplines is a tough
matter not very well solved/articulated yet.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Let me change gears. My main concern
with arts stems from their close relationships with emotions. I
remember a strange personal experience. In a multidisciplinary
gathering (scientists & artists) time ago, there was a small
concert in an ancient chapel. Cello and electronic music
together--great performers. In the middle of the concert, for
unknown reasons, I started to feel sad, very sad. I was very
absorbed in the music and could not realize having had any other
bad interfering remembrance. Then I discretely looked at the
person aside me, a lady. She was in tears, quite openly. I
realized it was the music effect. Quite a few of the audience
after the end of the concert were with red eyes... Some years
later, in some biomedical research of my team on laughter (the
analysis of its auditory contents as a helpful tool in the
diagnosis of depression) we stumbled on Manfred Clynes "sentic
forms". Some of the basic emotions can be clearly distinguished
in ad hoc acoustic patterns, as well in tactile expression. (He
made and sold a few gadgets about that). To make a long story
short, we found the most important sentic forms in the sounds of
laughter, including the "golden mean" in the expression of
joyful laughs. End of the story.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Trying to articulate a concrete
question, in what extension could have been some of the arts a
powerful means to elicit emotions which are not so easily felt
in social life? Think in the liturgy of these days... such a
powerful rites....<br>

differences (between entities, properties and

undeniable, if extremely ambitious! After all, the
sheer diversity of contrasts takes us from the
different spins of subatomic particles underlying
the various elements to the masses of the
celestial bodies determining their orbits around
the sun; from the colours in a painting to the
sounds of a symphony. Systemically, different
patterns of contrasts underlie the distinctions
between linear and complex systems. Contrasts also
form the basis for the working of our sense
organs, the perceptions derived from them, and the
inner world of conscious experience. In each of
these contexts very different classes of contrasts
lead to different mechanisms and laws, leading me
to wonder just what the 'underlying structure' is
(beyond the observation that, ultimately, some
type of contrast is always involved and that we
tend to deal with such diverse contrasts in a
similar way). Maybe your book provides an answer

define <b>contrast as a tension between common

grows in intensity as the number/strength of
differentiating and common features of
contrasting structures/objects increases</b>.
Contrast understood in this way applies to any
objects of reality (mental and physical) and is
also an impact (causal force) in the most general
sense. Contrast as a common principle organises
(binds) our knowledge into a coherent system. This

observe the connection between contrasting
objects/structures (resulting from their common
features) and the emergence of a </span><span style="color:windowtext" lang="EN-GB">new, more
complex structure possessing the common and
differentiating features of connected structures.
In the general sense, the emergence of a new
structure is tantamount to development. Therefore,
it may be stated that contrast is a perception of
structures/objects connections, or experience of
development. The association of contrast with
development brings a new quality to the
understanding of many other fundamental concepts,
such as beauty, value, creativity, emergence.
(Similarly, <i>contrast as development </i>is
understood in Whitehead’s philosophy).</span><span lang="nl"><u></u><u></u></span></p>

</span></b><span style="color:windowtext" lang="EN-GB">In accordance with the proposed
definition, when we consider the contrast between
two or more objects/structures, it grows in
intensity as the number/strength of
differentiating and common features of contrasting
structures/objects increases. Such an
understanding of contrast remain an intuitive
criterion of complexity that can be formulated as
follows: <b>a system becomes more complex the
greater is the number of distinguishable
elements and the greater the number of
connections among them</b><i>. </i>If in
definition of contrast we substitute
“differentiating features” for “distinguishable
elements” and “common features” for “connections”,
we will be able to conclude that <b>contrast is
the perception and measure of complexity.</b></span><span lang="nl"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p style="text-indent:35.4pt;line-height:150%"><span style="color:windowtext" lang="EN-GB">Note: Two
types of contrasts can be distinguished: the
sensual (physical) contrast, which is determined
only by the force of features of contrasting
objects and the mental (abstract) contrast which
depends primarily on the number of these features.
(This contrast can be equated with complexity).
(The equation of contrast with complexity is an
important finding for the investigations in:
cognitive sciences, psychology, ontology,
epistemology, aesthetics, axiology, biology,
information theory, complexity theory and
indirectly in physics).</span><span lang="nl"><u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p style="line-height:150%"><b><span style="color:windowtext" lang="EN-GB">Complexity—Information
Compression </span></b><span style="color:windowtext" lang="EN-GB">Intuition
says that the more complex object with the same
number of components (e.g. words) has more
features/information (i.e. more common and
differentiating features), which proves its better
organization (assuming that all components have
the same or similar complexity). We can also say
that such an object has a higher degree of
complexity. The degree of complexity is in other
words the brevity of the form or the compression
of information. Complexity understood intuitively
(as above) depends, however, not only on the
complexity degree (that could be defined as the
ratio of the number of features to the number of
components) but also on the (total) number of
features, because it is more difficult to organize
a larger number of elements/features. In addition,
the more features (with the same degree of
complexity), the greater the contrast. Therefore,
in the proposed <i>Abstract Definition of
Complexity </i>(2011), we multiply the degree
of complexity by the number of features. This
definition defines the complexity (C) of the
binary structure (general model of all
structures/objects) as the quotient of the square
of features (regularities/substructures) number
(N) to the number of components or the number of
zeros and ones (n). It is expressed in a simple
formula: C = N²/n and should be considered the
most general definition of complexity, among the
existing ones, which also fulfils the intuitive
criterion. (This relation explains what
compression of information in general is and what
role it plays as a complexity factor. This allows
to generalize the notion of information
compression and use it not only in computer
science, but also in other fields of knowledge,
such as aesthetics, axiology, cognitive science,
biology, chemistry, physics).</span><span lang="nl"><u></u><u></u></span></p>

perceiving objects (receiving information) more
compressed, saves energy. Compression/organization
of information reduce energy of perception while
maintaining the same amount of information (in
case of lossless compression). Thanks to this,
perception becomes easier (more economical) and
more enjoyable; for example, it can be compared to
faster and easier learning, acquiring knowledge
(information), which also contributes to our
development. Compression of information as a
degree of complexity also affects its size.
Complexity, in turn, is a measure of contrast (and
vice versa). Contrast, however, is identified with
development. Hence, complexity is also
development. This sequence of associations is the
second way connecting the compression of
information with development. Similarly, one can
trace all other possibilities of connections in
the diagram. (The association of information
compression with development brings a new,
explanatory knowledge to many fields including

<p style="line-height:150%"><b><span style="color:windowtext" lang="EN-GB">Contrast—Being
</span></b><span style="color:windowtext" lang="EN-GB">Contrast or interaction is a concept
prior to the concept of being because without
interaction there is no existence. It follows that
the basic component of being must be two
objects/elements/components (creating a contrast)
having common and differentiating features.
(Understanding of being as a contrast is
fundamental to ontology and metaphysics and worth
considering in physics).</span><span lang="nl"><u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p style="line-height:150%"><b><span style="color:windowtext" lang="EN-GB">Contrast—Cognition
</span></b><span style="color:windowtext" lang="EN-GB">The object of cognition and the
subject (mind) participate in the cognitive
process. The object and the subject have common
and differentiating features, thus they create a
contrast. Cognition consists in attaching (through
common features) differentiating features of the
object by the subject. In this way, through the
contrast, the subject develops. It can therefore
be said that cognition is a contrast of the object
with the subject. (This is a new definition of
cognition important for epistemology and cognitive
science).</span><span lang="nl"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p style="line-height:150%"><b><span style="color:windowtext" lang="EN-GB"> </span></b><span lang="nl"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p style="line-height:150%"><b><span style="color:windowtext" lang="EN-GB">Cognition—Subjectivity
</span></b><span style="color:windowtext" lang="EN-GB">The above understanding of cognition
agrees all disputable issues (present, among
others, in psychology, cognitive science and
aesthetics) regarding the objectivity and
subjectivity of assessments (e.g. whether the
source of beauty is the observer's mind, whether
it is a specific quality from the observer
independent), because it shows that they depend on
both the subject and the object, i.e. depend on
their relationship—contrast.</span><span lang="nl"><u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p style="line-height:150%"><b><span style="color:windowtext" lang="EN-GB">Compression
of information—Beauty </span></b><span style="color:windowtext" lang="EN-GB">Beautiful
are objects with high information compression (a
large degree of complexity/organization). Thanks
to the compression of information, perceiving
beauty, we save energy, the perception becomes
more economical and pleasant which favours our
development and is therefore a value for us. </span><span lang="EN-GB">The example is golden division. </span><span style="color:windowtext" lang="EN-GB">Counting
features (information) in all possible types of
divisions (asymmetrical, symmetrical and golden)
showed that the golden division contains the most
features/information (an additional feature is
well known golden proportion) and therefore
creates the greatest contrast, complexity and
aesthetic value. (This explains the previously
unknown reasons for aesthetic preferences, key to
aesthetics, art theory, psychology, cognitive
science and neuroaesthetics).</span><span lang="nl"><u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p style="line-height:150%"><b><span style="color:windowtext" lang="EN-GB">Development—Beauty
</span></b><span style="color:windowtext" lang="EN-GB">Beauty contributes to development
thanks to the economy of perception. Perception of
beauty is accompanied by a sense of development or
ease and pleasure of perception. (This explains
the causes of aesthetic preferences).</span><span lang="nl"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p style="line-height:150%"><b><span style="color:windowtext" lang="EN-GB"> </span></b><span lang="nl"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p style="line-height:150%"><b><span style="color:windowtext" lang="EN-GB">Abstract
Value—Beauty, Art </span></b><span style="color:windowtext" lang="EN-GB">Only beauty
and art have no specific value but they
express/have value in general (an abstract value).
The objects that make up a work of art are not
important, but their contrast-interaction, which
results from the complexity of the artwork. (If we
see a single object in the gallery, then the art
is its contrast with the context - as in the case
of Duchamp's "Urinal" or Malevich's "Black
Square"). One can say that beauty and art are
distinguished (defined) by two elements: abstract
value and a large contrast.(This is a new and only
definition of beauty/art that indicates the
distinctive common features of all
aesthetic/artistic objects, it is crucial for the
theory of art, aesthetics, axiology and
epistemology).</span><span lang="nl"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
