The discussion centers on the concept of beauty, emphasizing its subjective nature while also exploring potential objective criteria. Participants argue that beauty is often defined by societal consensus, yet individual experiences and biological instincts play significant roles in shaping perceptions of beauty. While some suggest that beauty follows certain mathematical patterns, particularly in human facial features, others counter that personal experiences and environmental factors create diverse interpretations of beauty. The debate also touches on the neurological basis for these differences, with some asserting that brain structure and individual experiences lead to varying judgments of beauty, while others argue for a more universal understanding of beauty based on shared human traits. Ultimately, the conversation reveals a complex interplay between subjective feelings and potential objective standards in defining what is considered beautiful.

Beauty = mathematical symmetry (invariance or unchange under some transformation).

There are plenty of various symmetries in math.

Alexander, don't be uni-dimensional in your vision. Maths are important but are only a mean , only one of the Paths. Assymetry has also beauty. By the way: life is inherent assymetric.

On DNA: each person has a unique combination

quoting http://www.state.ar.us/crimelab/dna.htm :
DNA-- DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACID
DNA is the molecule which contains all the information for life; DNA contains the key to each person's uniqueness. At the smallest level, DNA is organized into a double helix which is repeatedly coiled to allow more of it to fit into a compact space. In humans, all the DNA is packaged into 46 separate molecules called chromosomes. These chromosomes each contain thousands of genes, with each gene specifying how to make a particular protein necessary for cellular function. DNA spells out our genetic information using nucleotides. Like a fingerprint, our DNA sequence identifies us as distinct individuals.

Some refer in relation to beauty to the "Golden Section": be amazed when you check: http://evolutionoftruth.com/adm/overview.htm
