holy cow, McKenna was 100% right when he said the universe is promoting novelty. it rewards agents who:
1) successfully perform dimensionality reduction for hyperobjects they sense
2) synesthetically translate across different planes of expression

Those are the underlying objects, that all artworks are derived from.
Artists sense them and in an attempt of communication they try to cast them into the shape that is the artwork by the means of their craft.

Being “data-driven” often boils down to goodharting what is easy to measure and optimize. But there is another way to be data-driven: sensing the solution space, just like a sense organ, and moving towards meta-stable attractors (tradeoffs) detected in it.
