Abstract

Things might be evaluated both by technique (truth) and by arts (beauty), just as the technical merit and the artistic impression in figure skating. Even in mathematics, it is often said that beauty means truth, as in evaluating mathematical formulae. Thus, in general, any concept must be true and beautiful, and this will be equally applied to any strategy of action.

  1. This chapter is based in part on my essay on the “macromolecular concept” published in a series, “Rakuhoku Kei Ei (Reports from Northern Kyoto)” (hereafter K. Ei), in a monthly Japanese journal Kobunshi Kako (Polymers and Polymer Processing, hereafter K. K.): “Property, Functionality, and Sensitivity” (K Ei No. 120). Okamura S (1991) K K 40 (5): 223–224. A part of this chapter was also presented in the autor’s lecture, “Polymer Science and Arts”, at the 2nd Pacific Polymer Conference. October 1991, Otsu, Japan.
