so one big thing autoencoders do is dimensional reduction this means they draw out the most salient features of a type of thing, and what best differentiates examples from each other in order to understand an aesthetic, one must do a dim. red. on it
an aesthetic is some scheme of understanding such that a certain type of thing becomes very easy to describe you can "train" an aesthetic on just the canon and it'll work just as well as training it on the whole thing
okay there's a bunch of stuff on modernism I lack the context to understand just gonna skim past this
"ambient mood" is the sort of vibe or aesthetic or worldview a work embodies they're fake understandings of reality (standard map/territory stuff here) they can't be talked about directly, they're illegible and exist only as abstract patterns of sense-data
Aesthetics have vocabularies, and these are what the autoencoders find
multiple items sharing an aesthetic makes it easy to compare them, because you can do it using the terms of the aesthetic i.e. you already ran the dimensional reduction, so you know the important variables immediately
we can define an aesthetic as a small number of transformations, that allow you to turn one item into another, with the set of things that can be created with these transformations being in the aesthetic
