that’s interesting - I’ve never read a good explanation of the “satisfyingness” quale (a visual that’s inexplicably satisfying to see)

it’s not “everything” it’s literally his independent aesthetic conclusion

Yeah yeah
Fun fact: car companies have design people specifically focused on making sure doors close with a satisfying thunk
I bet there’s product design literature on this. I suspect there’s a strong aural component. It’s a kind of anti-music, like anti-jokes.
The cinematic light dimming story sounds suspiciously made up though. I’m not sure that sheds much light (heh). It substitutes one descriptor (“oddly satisfying”) for another (“cinematic”). If true how did cinema people land on 3s?

why anti-music? a satisfying sound is more music than noise

There’s no tension-resolution thing going on. It’s just straight up resolution. Like anti jokes aren’t incoherent or unfunny, they just don’t set up and resolve a premise. But I’m not attached to the idea. Just seems to fall short of musicality.
