Ayten,

Art certainly has a unique quality as a formal system that distinguishes it
from mathematics; namely, that the symbols and relations in the art
themselves are open to interpretation, whereas in mathematics they generally
have a predefined fixed interpretation. This could allow for multiple
encodings from the natural system to that a single piece of art, even though
the encodings/interpretations might be incommensurable with each other. I am
not sure about the art and decodings back to the natural system.

But topological models, in the mathematical (rather than art) sense, would
lose that flexibility of interpretation, and so incommensurable models would
require distinct formal models, each with their own distinct
encodings/decodings to the natural system.

That's the opinion of someone who's appreciation of art is finite and
bounded. :)

Regards,
Tim
