We have seen that men insist upon producing art as a fulfillment of the biological necessity for self-expression. Art is one of the avenues which has afforded satisfactory means, which we may here call a language, for the successful fulfillment of this drive. Art, then, is a definite kind of thing, a species of nature, and like any species in the physical world it proceeds according to definite laws of its own. It has definite properties which will here be described as the plastic elements. By the constant rearrangement of these properties, art, like every other species, proceeds according to logic through stages of change that we can call growth. It grows logically, definitely, step by step from the exhibition of one set of characteristics to another, always related to its past equipment, and bearing at the same time the promise of the future.

pulchritude (n.)

Sound spawns form. Form makes sound. Sound voids form.

The kissing problem asks how many spheres can be arranged tangent to a given sphere, if they all have the same size and their interiors cannot overlap. The maximum such number in n dimensions is called the n-dimensional kissing number. Equivalently, we can ask how many points can be arranged on the surface of a sphere such that no two distinct points form an angle of less than 60 degrees with the center of the sphere.
