Tangible aesthetics and abstract (intangible) aesthetics
The tangible comes from and is the offspring-progeny of that abstract womb.
The tangible is too often conflated in its feasibleness in its utility and versatility as the abstract/intangible. The tangible in being material and substantive is inherently defined by its limitations. Those limitations and their margins, on the positive side, can have the ABSTRACT manipulations of those tangible limits of their aesthetics-the realms that frame their emotional universe. The abstract aesthetics are the mental inspirations and improvisations-the utilities for those tangible aesthetics.
One thing about the tangible aesthetic-philes is their justification for the mythical ends of that aesthetic, since the ends are seen as some sacrosanct and immutable standard of consensus. And those justifications become tar-baby mind games in which they're karmically stuck because of their enchanted dependence on the ambient trappings of those aesthetics.
That could be said of many to most others' individual affinity to their aesthetics. Yet the former tangible-philes have ceased to have any conscientious critique they'd give to others, let alone a self-critique of/for themselves, since its come down to catch-phrases of rhetorical style, regurgitated homilies and platitudes, when not giving passive aggressive/aggressive ad hominems to those posing a threat to their adherence to the logic of those aesthetics.
Those of abstract aesthetic sense see the tangible aesthetic as the by-product of the mechanics of their abstract aesthetics. Those abstract aesthetics are the by-products of mental gymnastic speculations. Those speculations come from improvisational scenarios off the presumptive perception of the empirical phenomena and the attempts to produce those scenarios, plus the extrapolations of those attempts in applying the prior speculations to their pedestrian experience. The ad hoc "tools" used for the speculations and attempts are from the reservoir of signals, stored by their subconscious receptors for this conscious, cognitive moment.
Those signals can be from other than one's subconscious, conscious sensory dimensions and focus of experience. Those signals can be from ad hoc anecdotal of tangible events or insights, as well as dreams of known, past characters, characters of parallel/future dimensions, or cryptic/surreal versions of concepts of one's present mind or future deja vus. There's no limit, except for the serendipity of time and your placement in time/timing. The latitude of liberty, plus the options of a mind free provides indefinite limits within the caveat of time and place: more than with the tangible aesthetics of form and structure.
Time and spatial dimensions available for the roamings of the mind enables the aesthetics of the abstract domain to be transcendent and to being more than a commodity of consumption or possession. The infinite (time) and plastic (space) of those qualities gives the abstract superior utility to the more rigid and static structure and functions of tangible aesthetics.
