=== on Viridian aesthetic ===

There are two approaches to the problem of establishing a  Viridian aesthetic:  the top-down approach, and the  bottom-up.  The top-down method consists of issuing historical analogies, broad statements of principle, sweeping aphorisms, and so forth, and trawling these verbal devices over the landscape in the hope that they will net something useful.

The bottom-up approach relies on assembling specific examples, whose aggregate might suggest an  emergent future sensibility.

Since we Viridians have an expiration date looming, we will try both approaches at once.
