The approach is entirely focused on mechanisms of reception aesthetics.  Neuronal correlates in the recognition and perception of adaptations as adaptations are of key interest.  Appropriation of cultural capital in this reception process opens evolutionary biological hypotheses connecting cognition of adaptations to learning protocols.
