Aesthesis, a Process of High Recursion
-
Walking at night, appreciating the cityscape, a hyper-mediated “metropolis Americana”, cool and moist. Reality produces the most textured moments, it’s humbling. Imagine living in a different time, long gone. The experience of the ancients had less things, less situations, less noise, it was less complex. Then and now, moments of different complexity but experienced with no reduction in dimensionality, a paradox.
The magic of aesthetic Reality lies in recursion, true and effective. High recursion aesthesis, emergence of conscience, of consciousness, of memory. Are you familiar with so-called “ear worms”? When a song keeps playing in your head, that’s recursion along one mode of feeling (auroacoustic), a modally-recursive aesthesis.
