contents <p>This paper proposes a conceptual framework for understanding beauty as a cognitive phenomenon rooted in symbolic compression. Drawing from information theory, aesthetics, and cognitive science, it explores how humans and artificial systems experience resonance when perceiving compressed symbolic representations. The theory bridges pattern recognition, abstraction, and affective response, and suggests beauty emerges when high-complexity information is expressed in unexpectedly low-complexity form. The paper outlines implications for cognitive modeling, machine learning, and interdisciplinary studies of perception, meaning, and design.</p>
