Absolutely. Nevertheless, and to nitpick, "beauty" and "positivity" are not isomorphic.

I just have to say that i have had a word stuck on the tip of my tongue for an embarrassingly long time, maybe six months now. I’ve had occasion to use it several times recently on a project but it was just stuck wherever words get lost. I’m cruising HN in a post completely unrelated to what I’m doing and there it is, in living color: isomorphic.

I could feel the tension release in my brain as it sunk in. Thank you!

Now you can use it in all kind of improper situations and laugh out loud isomorphically.
It's totally getting abused.
Now I’m looking for the word for the phenomenon that you’ve described and we all can relate too!
Sure, but I wouldn't call laughing as the world burns "beautiful" either – more "psychotic".

But rats and cows don't know that.
How do you know?
