This article investigates how beauty influences cognition through the framework of the Interrelationships Model.
This article, a part of the research project of the fundamental interrelationships, investigates the nature of beauty not as a subjective aesthetic preference, but as a cognitive response to the fundamental interrelationship of Order. By utilizing the Interrelationships Model (IRM), this article demonstrates that the 'Sense of Beauty' is a neural register of Order as low informational entropy, positing that human perception is an instinctual recognition of low-entropy states, governed by the Second Law of Thermodynamics.[2] This framework provides a physicalist explanation for all forms of beauty – from biological symmetry to complex artistic structures – and reaffirms the IRM’s capacity to serve as the fundamental mechanism governing everything.
