Weirdness

🧩

Overview

Weirdness describes systems that resist immediate comprehension. They follow internal logic or break from familiar conventions.

While often framed as an aesthetic, weirdness can also function as structure. It introduces tension, slows interpretation, and invites repeated engagement.

Weirdness becomes familiar through pattern, not explanation.

Weirdness can surface even in structured systems. In modular or recursive contexts, it may arise through unexpected patterns, symbolic layering, or nonlinear logic. What feels strange at first might later reveal a deeper internal logic.


  • Friction — both create resistance, though through different forms of structural tension
