    The Dissensus Framework

    Hello new posters and welcome to the forum. A small contingent of us have developed an ever expanding aesthetic framework which we on occasion make reference to. Of course the vast majority of users have no interest in it whatsoever, so it is by no means necessary to understand it to enjoy the...
