Stata of Art#
The purpose of playing is to hold, as ‘twere, the mirror up to nature; to show
virtue
her own feature,scorn
her own image, and the very age and body of the time his form and pressure. O, there be players that I have seen play—and heard others praise, and that highly—not to speak it profanely, that, … theyimitated

Michael Tilson Thomas: Music and emotion through time has parallels with Dante’s Allegory. The Matrix encodes all of humanities knowledge be it art (imitation), science (prediction), technology (autoencoder), engineering (robots), aesthetics (kungfu), mathematics (vocabulary)
How lovely that thing you are playing is! I wonder, did
Chopin
write it at Majorca, with the sea weeping round the villa and the salt spray dashing against the panes? It is marvellously romantic. What a blessing it is that there is one art left to us that isnot imitative

Generalist#
Arte (Imitation) & Scienza (Prediction) = Tragedy (Representation). When the products of art, science, or tragedy resonate with us, they have been accurately decoded with all the parameter coefficients similar to our own

Specificity#
With any individualized prediction in science, a patient can’t say “that resonates” with me. The numbers are abstract and they’ve never experienced the outcome
But with art or tragedy the eternal recurrence of the same is encoded in the latent-space or collective unconscious and so it can resonate
Our way around this is by handing the end-user an app in which they might update their risk-profile and see if it changes the risk prediction
If there’s no change, then we could say the app is “mirroring” humanity so abominably; the backend model has no beta-coefficients for what has been tested
