Pragmatic information of aesthetic appraisal
arXiv:2411.10561 · doi:10.1007/s11571-025-10225-1
Abstract
A phenomenological model for aesthetic appraisal is proposed in terms of pragmatic information for a dynamic update semantics over belief states on an aesthetic appreciator. The model qualitatively correlates with aesthetic pleasure ratings in an experimental study on cadential effects in Western tonal music. Finally, related computational and neurodynamical accounts are discussed.
