Is that not the implicit point of the thread? That compressions of ideas, if managed improperly, ARE aberrations.

Replying to @simpolism
A low fidelity idea can still potentially communicate the central point accurately, just as you can still comprehend the lyrics in a lo-fi (YouTube?) version of a song. In audio, we have a "mastering" step which ensures a song's intent is communicated accurately, even in lo-fi.

are you sure? because I do identify that as Einstein's portrait. unless the original was not Einstein's portrait I'm not sure what that example shows.

it's an interesting example. I'm not sure how to characterize this one since it's not just a compression artifact but an actual optical "attack" of a kind. I feel like ideas undergoing lossy compression might be vulnerable to this too through conflation or mischaracterization.

given that's the case then I think @simpolism's preference to talk about fidelity is absolutely addressing that issue. my original discussion with @everytstudies about resolution was more about ability do compress and decompress ideas in non-adversarial conditions.
