beauty is the successful solving of such subproblems as the thing would need to solve in order to be beautiful

if you replace "beautiful" with "effective" in that last sentence then it starts having content but maybe not before

@sarahdoingthing i think probably things like fit and complexity are part of it and then part is about non-unifiable human reward buttons1 reply 0 retweets 1 like
@VesselOfSpirit you can't brute force beauty by optimizing for some reward button (pleasure, longing) but I think you can brute force beauty
