  "abstract": "One of the basic ways we navigate the world is through \u2018feelings of structure\u2019 -- our experience of the inner logic of a system or a situation as a tone, a vibe, a mood. I argue that building a technical analogy between \u2018feelings of structures\u2019 and autoencoder neural networks lets us construct a kind of theory of vibe: a theory that lets us see how sets of material (/digital) objects express a worldview and vice versa, and that can explain the deep role art plays in expressing, developing, and challenging our understanding of the world.",
  "description": "The story I\u2019m hoping to tell builds up to an account of how the aesthetic unity or \u2018vibe\u2019 of an artistic work can model the causal-material structure of a lifeworld. On this account, the meaning of an artistic work lies partly in a dense vibe we can sense when we take in the imaginative landscape of the work -- a dense vibe that acts as a structural representation of a looser, weaker vibe present in the real world and teaches us how to feel it.",
