The TL;DR seems to be: social networks, computer networks, neural networks, and patterns of language all exhibit a “small world” architecture - an organic in-between of randomness and order, the unique mesh structure that lets any two nodes connect in only a few hops (the “six degrees of separation” concept) and retains stability/function as arbitrary nodes are inserted/removed. This universal structure has evolutionary purpose - the interplay between what we are, what we create, and what we experience isn’t coincidental.<p>The article references several art projects that deal with these topics, especially applications in AI. The website is dedicated to “neuroaesthetics” - which is apparently a field that studies the neurological basis for creating and consuming art.
