This is also my interest and what attracted me to the MOQ in the first
place. You call it "artistic quality" while I call it "beauty." But it's the same
experience. As Victoria put it:
"There is an undeniable sense of the DQ . . . which makes life so much
more beautiful and hopeful."
When mathematicians and scientists rely on a "sense" of beauty as
much as objective data to test their theories, there is a hint of a higher
existence and truth beyond the constraints of time and space--an
existence that the great ones like Mozart and Rembrandt transport us
to momentarily.
As you pursue your interest, John, please share your findings with us.
The aesthetic experience is universal and, IMHO, it is the essence of
the MOQ.
