So if you think about that with just notes in unhatched chicks, now imagine the literal physical environment that you're surrounded by and how much of an impression that's going to make on you.
So I think when we think about what you like now, thinking back to what you've been surrounded by in the past, but then.
last but not least and this might be the most general for all people is that like we like what our ancestors have been surrounded by right and mostly that's nature and yes you can just you know kind of hack that by putting a plant on your desk and now you've got nature inside and we tend to like nature but it turns out like what we like about nature is kind of the underlying patterns right and what one of the patterns in nature for example is symmetry right you could identify
an animal versus a non-living thing based on the symmetry and now you see that okay this is something that either might present an opportunity or a threat so our eyes are drawn to symmetry that's a principle that like comes from our relationship with our surroundings another one is that we just like this balance of
Balance of complexity and order.
The best way to illustrate it, I think, in the built environment is just a brick facade.
So brick facade is something that, you know, nobody really thinks is ugly in most cases.
And you're it just kind of sets into the background and is sort of soothing.
And nobody thinks twice about it.
But if you look at it, there is kind of this underlying pattern there, right?
It might be that the bricks are staggered by half each level and that creates an overall aesthetic.
Or it might be that there is a pattern where like one brick is long and one is the narrow way and then one is long and it's staggered on each row.
all different patterns, but they all like give rise to this kind of bigger apparent complexity, but there's also some underlying order.
So I think if we can think about that in the types of things that we're, um, we're designing that will work well.
I mean,
Moving that into interior design, there's the classic interior design advice of like having kind of different textures.
Right.
But also having one organizing principle to the space.
And if you think about that, that's kind of like how nature does it, where nature's got like the organizing principle.
But then it gives rise to this, you know, over more complex situation.
