John Maeda recalls a "weird" Munsell color space from his MIT days. Unlike typical cylinders, grids, or cones, it was a more "blocky" representation that better aligned with human perception. He uses this to make a broader point: now that AI can render anything beautifully, the real question becomes **how much of what we create can be closer to human nature**. The answer might not lie in more mathematical representations, but in systems that more closely mirror human perception itself.
