Art Recursion
Barthes had discussed the art patterns as narratives of cultural coexistence (for details see: Introduction to structural analysis of narratives). However, Spivey summirizes that cultural coexistence is not the single reason to explain the phenomenon of art being recursive. Chomsky at al. argued that the core property of human communication (in a 'narrow' sense, including language) is recursion. According to Chomsky at al. recursion is attributed to limited syntax in the conception - with a finite set of elements to yield a potentially infinite array of discrete expressions. Thomas explaines the art recursion (in a 'broad' sense) with imposion of archetypal structures existing beyond the faculty of human communication. Studying Persian-Sassanide art patterns and possibly their early Nomadic conceptions is uncovering their symbols (symbolism) and creative imagination.

Famous quotes containing the word art:
“The art of leadership ... consists in consolidating the attention of the people against a single adversary and taking care that nothing will split up that attention.... The leader of genius must have the ability to make different opponents appear as if they belonged to one category.”
—Adolf Hitler (18891945)
