** (Exaggerated ver) The Greyvians consistently view all depictions as "records with a practical cause" as opposed to "emotionally driven creation" since they cannot recognize "beauty" or "aesthetic." Consequently, their interpretations are more like neutral descriptions when they examine any form of depiction that does not represent an actual entity that existed in real life in the first place. For example, If you were to show them a picture of the inside of a mosque dome that features Ottoman architectural details, all you would accomplish is confuse their understanding of the purpose of the lines and shapes. Alternatively, they also would be unable to comprehend why a pastel portrait of a person could be worth more than a photograph of the same person.
