Beauty-Phi

What defines you?
Is it your accomplishments?  Your good deeds?  Your good nature and willingness to roll with the punches, or your comprehension of how unjust those punches may be and stand in defiance of them?
Studies show that often what defines us is how pleasing we are to the eye.   At this point, you may feel yourself have a slight reaction of indignation to this statement, asking; whose eye?... Isn't beauty supposedly in the eye of the beholder?
Well, the answer is that an eye of a baby only one week old is the very eye these studies analyzed.

"Babies are wonderfully hedonistic and have no manners, so they stare at objects that they consider to be pleasing. When babies stare at some faces longer than others, it indicates that they prefer to look at them and find them attractive." -The Perfect Human Face blogger

Our own judgment of beauty is partly derived from our capacity to engage reflective contemplation, meaning we literally have an experience of ourselves based on what we see.  With respect to our very existence, symmetry and balance are fundamentally linked to our survival.  In this way then our attraction to elements of beauty are instinctual and quantifiable in mathematical terms.
