Pattern IS quantity. Pattern is the binary difference between everything and nothing, in my view of reality. Everything can be described as some arrangement of contraction (pure stability) and expansion (pure change).

It's not a quantity that modifies other quantities in a mechanically countable way. Also you're describing logical operations using numerical analogies. 0 and 1 are not numbers in that space. They are filters.

0 and 1 are the representations of the two "moves" in the game that the universe is playing with itself, you could say. They aren't numbers, right. They are the two things which can happen at any point in space~time, as the patterns of reality are generated by the algorithm.

Except when you are moving with someone, they look like they are not moving. 0 and 1 can't cover relativity. There's more than 0 and 1, because the algorithm, if it exists, has to guess. Otherwise it gets lost in singularities.

You and I are different parts of the tapestry. So, naturally, as we are woven, we experience different perspectives of our surroundings.

This is based on an assumption of no change. Nope.

I find most other humans incomprehensible, yet you are always worth listening to, and asking questions of, if there is enough time and energy for me to do so. We converse to clarify our own ideas, so it doesn't matter what others are actually thinking. I just take it all as art.

You don’t always see the difference between art and kitsch. There is a particular way in which you are already identified as seeing the world, which prevents you from actually looking. I find it unbearable.

Art is emotional creation. Playing with experiences to generate novel experiences. (The best of Twitter.) Craft is emotional preservation. Trying to record/convey past experiences effectively.

Turil Cronburg @thewiseturtleA little brainstorming today: a rough look at the different formats that we want to share content using, covering the second, third, and fourth person dimensions: (I'm still struggling with the religio-political category/ies, as those terms are weird, but what else is there?) pic.twitter.com/ZrgCJ4dlyiShow this thread1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
I strongly disagree, Turil. Art is capturing conscious states. It is the practice of observation, independent of application. The generation of emotional states is an application. Kitsch is an uncanny valley around art, where the truth criterion is replaced by emotional valence.

Could you say where, in my list of types of media, your definition of art would be? Or is art not expressive? Also, I too, say that art is capturing conscious states. But it differs from craft in that art generates new states, while craft tries to record/share past states.

The past is a creation, too. I consciousness, there is only this. This. This.
