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:
“So long as the system of competition in the production and exchange of the means of life goes on, the degradation of the arts will go on; and if that system is to last for ever, then art is doomed, and will surely die; that is to say, civilization will die.”
—William Morris (1834–1896)
