If aesthetic properties are partly institutional and relational rather than intrinsic, exposure trains recognition of contextual categories, not perception of observer-independent qualities.

Contextual categories(in aesthetics): Groups or types of things defined by their situation or setting rather than by fixed, unchanging properties.
Institutional(in aesthetics): Dependent on human systems, rules, or agreements rather than existing naturally on their own.
Intrinsic(describing the kind of continuities that ground identity): Something that belongs to or is part of something by its very nature, rather than coming from outside or being relational.
Observer-independent(as used in epistemology and metaphysics): Existing or being true regardless of whether anyone is looking at it or thinking about it; objective rather than dependent on a particular person's viewpoint.
Relational: # Relational "Relational" means focusing on how things connect to and depend on each other, rather than looking at them in isolation. For example, a relational approach to understanding a person considers their family, friends, work, and community—not just their individual traits. In everyday use, it emphasizes that meaning, value, and identity often come from relationships and interactions rather than existing completely on their own.
