- Authenticity as formal harmony, balance, delight.
A thing has "authentic" value because we percieve it to be well designed, it my reflect authentic wisdom. - Authenticity as connection to time/ place.
An argument for coherence and continuity as aesthetic pleasure as opposed to correctness according to some objective standard (aethetic regionalism can reflect either motive). - Authenticity as self expression
I identify with that designed thing or person or era, or dress, hairstyle, non local culture, tradition, not as a disguise for who I really am, but beacuse in some sense it reflects or expresses who I really am.
