Visual Composition & Aesthetic Reduction

Primes about arranging and paring visual elements for effect: abstraction and minimalism that strip representational detail, composition with proportion, scale, and negative space, focal-point emphasis and visual movement, plus color harmony, texture, iconography, and defamiliarization.

14 primes in this family — primes that sit near one another in abstraction space (k-means over structural-signature embeddings). Each is shown with its structural–framed character and how distinctive (sparsely-neighbored) it is.
