The dialectical oscillation between aesthetic and extra-aesthetic modalities: Reading art as two states

This is a brief speculative paper that introduces a model for viewing art. Based on this model, various observations can be made and applied to an analysis of art. It also provides a paradigm through which an inter-disciplinary framework may be envisaged. The upshot, should such a view be accepted, is a more holistic appraisal of knowledge where even the sciences and humanities may overlap.
