re: #296 The Ghost of a Flea

There’s a reason art is called art and science is called science.

Science is defined by derivation, iteration, and cross-referencing. That’s the basis of the scientific method: almost-fractal inquiry into existing ideas while consciously documenting innovation versus derivation while providing explanations for those choices.

I got news for you, most art is derivative, iterative and repetitive. True innovation in art is just as rare as true innovation in science.

Art is just science expressed differently anyway. A little math, some sociology and psychology, maybe even a little neurology.
