My Senior Thesis Project

I’m studying how people make categorization decisions informed by their aesthetic preferences. These are the posts about the project so far:

• Natural Latents and Aesthetic Categorization — How are we arriving at this project and why is it interesting/useful? Well, let me introduce natural latents, something from johnswentworth which I still need to learn more about. The rough idea is that any intelligence might form similar abstractions about the world, the most useful and efficient abstractions.
• Beginning to think about aesthetic categorization decisions — Throwing paint at the wall to see what sticks
• Help me choose a thesis topic — I'm choosing an initial topic for my research work over the next year which will lead into my senior thesis. I have two ideas and I'd like to know which one you find more interesting!
