[quote=@Beach Burrito]In runs on the notion that beauty is not subjective, and that it can be calibrated to have desired effects upon desired viewers. On the base level it's a broad spectrum 'appreciation' for the various structures and overall composition by which it falls together, with considerations given to a plethora of sensory awareness--running the gamut from sight and sound to smell and electrorecption. On the surface this just means bituman's have 'making worlds pretty' down to a science.

Beauty is subjective between species. There might even be species which do not have a concept of beauty. So yes, it would very much need to be adjusted and specifically calibrated for specific species.

The personal pull comes from interaction with bitumans and exposure to bituman culture--with intensity on the effect proportionate to the time one remains immersed. This is because subliminal messages lace just about everything one can see/hear or interact with. It relies on the idea of 'pitfalls' based around the type of entertainment or recreation an individual may seek out of their own accord, with the vector of indoctrination calibrated to the specific 'profile' of those most likely to become its targets. What sort of people are likely to look for prostitutes? Illegal substances? Nightclubs? It's an active effort administrated over by some of the most powerful intellects in existence--machine or otherwise.

Think of it like this, soldiers aren't going to call off an attack just because the city their bombarding leaves them awe struck--but immigrants and detainees are going to have a higher turnaround than they would with other nations and operatives in 'deep cover' might end up going native.

That's my take on it anyhow.

As long as it needs to be specifically calibrated to particular species then yeah, sure - and that will be a process involving lots of intensive psychological and neurological study. Just be sure to emphasize that point and I will approve your application.
