referred to in recent notes is that if it exists, it is doing more harm than good. I therefore
propose “bracketing” it, following the suggestion of Husserl for human
experience, but with a different
objective. I would replace the current consensus by a recognition that
any reasonable description of complex phenomena, such as information processes,
has both an ontic and an epistemic component. These components are not static
but change and evolve. The epistemic component is usually recognized and accepted.
That it is accompanied dynamically by a physical, energetic change. The
extrapolation of physical properties to cognitive is obviously considered in
neurology but not adequately in philosophy.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

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: 0.0cm 0.0cm 8.0pt;font-size: 12.0pt;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: 0.0cm 0.0cm 8.0pt;font-size: 12.0pt;font-family: "Times New Roman" , serif;"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0.0cm 0.0cm 8.0pt;font-size: 12.0pt;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: 0.0cm 0.0cm 8.0pt;font-size: 12.0pt;font-family: "Times New Roman" , serif;"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0.0cm 0.0cm 8.0pt;font-size: 12.0pt;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: 0.0cm 0.0cm 8.0pt;font-size: 12.0pt;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: 0.0cm 0.0cm 8.0pt;font-size: 12.0pt;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>

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>

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><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;text-indent: 14.0pt;margin: 0.0cm;font-size: 12.0pt;font-family: "Times New Roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">La trasformazione di un <i>flusso</i> di redditi in un <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>.

L’ateniese Takis intende l’opera d’arte come simbolo di energia.

Essi non distruggono mai completamente quello che fagocitano. Con-tengono un’informazione, non casuale e indefinibile, sulla materia di cui sono fatti che con-sente di predirne il futuro. In una relazione del 1998 [7], ripresa nel 2005 [8], Hawking studia la possibilità di collegare i campi gravitazionali (che sembravano eliminare ogni in-formazione) all’entropia e alla predicibilità del futuro che la seconda legge della termodinamica permette. In tal modo i buchi neri non evaporano o irradiano un’energia invisibile o enigmatica priva di informazione come se fossero delle inafferrabili e indecifrabili entità cosmiche, e non s-fuggono alla (mia) super-legge della combinazione creativa (anche se talvolta stupefacente) di energia e in-formazione. I buchi neri possono considerarsi quindi come speciali scatole nere o magici processi di tras-informazione produttivi (i cui <i>input</i> e <i>output</i> sono materia, energia e informazione) e prospettici.</span></p><p style="text-indent: 14.0pt;margin: 0.0cm;text-align: justify;font-size: 9.0pt;font-family: "Times New Roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">L’energia e l’in-formazione costituiscono le due sostanze primarie della vita e della scienza che implicano «affermazioni complementari» non identiche all’una o all’altra delle due «affermazioni alternative» che presuppongono scelte binarie del tipo 0 o 1. Ad ogni affermazione complementare corrisponde uno stato o «potenzialità coesistente» che in una certa misura contiene anche gli altri «stati coesistenti».

Dear Pedro and FIs Colleagues,
<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.

Dear Mariusz and FIs Colleagues,

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....

An artistic rendition, unless intended as photo-realistic, will be intentionally inaccurate. Digital representations are, for the sake of efficiency, designed to compress information to the minimum required to provide the illusion of accuracy based on the sensitivity of our senses. This accounts for the 16,7 million colour standard for images: a lot of colours, but only a coarse approximation to the real colours of the rainbow.

To take such contrasts as a unifying principle would therefore seem to be 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 to this question that I am unable to find in this brief abstract: could you perhaps say something about this? </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;color: red;" lang="nl">(The answer to this question is contained in the contrast-being relation: "Contrast-Being Contrast, or interaction, is a prior concept to the concept of being, because without interaction there is no being.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;color: black;" lang="nl">Moving on to more specific topics, I see that you equate the complexity of a system to a relationship between binary values (</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;" lang="nl">C = N²/n<span style="color: black;">). While such as approach may work for discontinuous contrasts (e.g. presence/absence, information in digital systems) many naturally occurring differences are continuous (e.g. the electromagnetic frequencies underlying the colours of the rainbow). In neuroscience, while the firing of a neuron may be a binary event, the charge underlying this event is a dynamic continuous variable. My question: how does the concept of abstract complexity deal with continuous variables ("contrasts")?</span><span style="color: red;"> (What seems to us to be continuous in reality may be discrete, e.g. a picture or a sound on a computer is continuous and in reality it is a binary structure of electric impulses; a continuous color is a vibration of an electromagnetic wave.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;color: black;" lang="nl">By defining contrast as a distinction between entities or properties, it seems to come close as a definition to the type of information underlying physical entropy. That being the case, your approach would seem to resemble those who would give such information a comparable fundamental significance (e.g. Wheeler's "it from bit"). Could you say something about how you see the relationship between 'contrast' and 'information? Are they effectively synonyms?</span><span style="color: red;" lang="nl"> Contrast and information are different concepts. Information is a feature or form of energy.

<p style="line-height: 150.0%;"><b><span lang="EN-GB">Contrast—Development </span></b><span lang="EN-GB">When observing a contrast, we also 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>

<p style="line-height: 150.0%;"><b><span style="color: windowtext;" lang="EN-GB">Contrast—Complexity </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: 150.0%;"><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: 150.0%;"><span style="color: windowtext;" lang="EN-GB"> </span><span lang="nl"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150.0%;"><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>

<p style="line-height: 150.0%;"><b><span style="color: windowtext;" lang="EN-GB">Information compression—Development </span></b><span style="color: windowtext;" lang="EN-GB">Our mind 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 cognitive science, aesthetics, axiology, information theory).</span><span lang="nl"><u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p style="line-height: 150.0%;"><b><span style="color: windowtext;" lang="EN-GB">Development—Value </span></b><span style="color: windowtext;" lang="EN-GB">Development is the essence of value, because all values (ethical, material, intellectual, etc.) contribute to our development which is their common feature. It follows that value is also a contrast, complexity and compression of information because they are synonymous with development. (The relation explains and defines the notion of value fundamental to axiology).</span><span lang="nl"><u></u><u></u></span></p>

Only aesthetic values can be said to serve the development or be the essence of values, values in general or abstract values. This is a property of abstract concepts to express the general idea of something (e.g. the concept of a chair includes all kinds of chairs and not a specific one). It follows that <b>what is specific to aesthetic value is that it is an abstract value</b> (although it is difficult to imagine). (This is a new understanding of aesthetic value, crucial for aesthetics and axiology).</span><span lang="nl"><u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p style="line-height: 150.0%;"><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: 150.0%;"><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: 150.0%;"><b><span style="color: windowtext;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></b><span lang="nl"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150.0%;"><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: 150.0%;"><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: 150.0%;"><b><span style="color: windowtext;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></b><span lang="nl"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150.0%;"><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: 150.0%;"><b><span style="color: windowtext;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></b><span lang="nl"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150.0%;"><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>
