TC and PC are just the congenital-deterministic extremes of art; what lies between them would be the 'ethos'.

Each artist has their own unique 'vibration' or 'oscillation' within these extremes, and I suppose that 'quality', drawing an analogy from music, is the 'harmony' of those oscillations.
Tezukism has an unusually large amplitude and a short period, which probably explains its organic contemporary appeal. Realism has a large amplitude and a long period, while calligraphy has a small amplitude and a short period.

I can’t teach your heart how to vibrate sincerely —that would go against the nature of art itself.
But I can help define the extremes and offer a few tuning rules.

>Try to reduce oversocialization.
>Reconnect with the child/whim buried under years of formal education.

Or more abstractly:

>Cultivate white space.

For me this is easy since I’m a bit of a social pariah. But for those who live by and for others’ expectations, it’s much harder.

I wouldn't say I 'hate' it, not really. I actually hold it in high regard. But it’s a 'closed' ethos, meaning you can’t really use it without paying a kind of implicit tribute.

That’s why I’m searching for an open or standard ethos, something that isn’t bound to any particular nationality.
