We explain our approach that is mathematical based and expressed by the Hereditary Entropy Thesis. We give some computational evidence which outlines aims and indicates meaning of this project.

Visualization of object-oriented programs by class diagrams is a widely used technique. So far no commonly agreed aesthetic criteria have been recorded in order to standardize and measure the quality of class diagrams. In this paper we focus on UML class diagrams, the standard notation for class diagrams in software engineering. We propose some aesthetic criteria which reflect the highly sophis...

Is what they do art, and do they have an aesthetic sense? I propose operational definitions of art, judgement, and an aesthetic sense which depend upon communication theory which allow on...

This paper will argue that the experience of immersion is intrinsically tied in with the body and its spatio­temporal positioning within a fictional or construc...
