I woudl submit for reflection that the source of beauty is no structure, or wavelength, but attention itself, when it is free to operate at its highest order. Thus in chaos, beauty will unfold (the harmonie of Fibonacci series, for example, entrances) providing the Viewer is able to appreciate what is there to be beheld. That ability ranges from the sublime to the ridiculous in our species and in the spectrum of spiritual states we find ourselves in.

The funny thing, of course, is that a potentially highly spiritual being who is so beaten down as to be able to appreciate nothing more refined, say , than sex or eating, will still assert he is finding beauty in sex and in eating. And the deep psycho, whether acute or chronic, can drool over the beauty he sees in destruction and havoc.

So in a way, to answer the thread question, what beauty does for us is to reveal to us how right we always knew we were all along! :>)
