I would agree with the restatement below. I've read two of Damasio's early

COMMENT: I would see it as a feedback looping whereby 'verity' and
conventions
continually inform each other and link to emotions, associations,
memories. I
recommend Antonio Damasio's quite recent book, Self Comes to Mind.

Verity comes first and produces conventions? First the verity of art
as an abstraction and later the convention of abstract art?

Thus conventions produce verity. What produces the conventions?

Pragmatic concerns. When an idea, perspective or mental construction

to explain or describe, conventions are adopted as a way of
institutionalizing our collective experience.
Thus, reliable experience produces conventions.
