On the good evolution of art and nonart... 

What will be found by thinkers in sensing the evolutionary growth
of stuff is that the directed goal the stuff seemingly leans
toward is a fated determination, because all its effort is forced
in that way. It is driven by the natural compulsion of
disposition and inclination. Its tendencies in the way it leans
are bents that can be none other than what they do seem to be.
What is discovered by sound inquiry in satisfaction of just
curiosity is the presence of traits and trails and trials or
trends that are innate and inborn or instinctive and intuitive.
Phenomenal stuff in the form of matter or life continues to exist
as it does by the mere action of feeling and the sheer habit of
conduct, which habit becomes embodied and engrained and embedded
in the stuff as a natural law of regularity. The habitual law
becomes endowed in the stuff. The direction and completion then
becomes fixed by insistence and persistence, even though some
exploratory paths along the main route may be found wrong or bad
or even evil. If the stuff is at all viable in steering and
staying the course, it will tend to bear or yield or have the
ability to correct its own errors, and get back on track. Any
obstacle in the way will be overcome by its taking the route of
least resistance, by stopping or retreating or overtaking or
bypassing or even dissipating. If the best direction is
maintained and the best completion is attained, then the
evolution of stuff is ideal and right and thus good. The
prescribed fated determination is not an origin or source or
cause, but rather is a limit and ground and margin. It is not an
accidental spontaneous generation, or a rigid mechanical
creation, or a deliberate nominal notion, or an arbitrary mental
invention. The cause of purpose in stuff evolving is admittedly
teleonomic design, but the agent of design is a natural
disposition. Stuff tends to act out of habit in the best way it
can, because it should. The relation between the stuff and the
goal is given uncontrolled to sense, which relation is found to
be a natural disposition and a habitual determination. The
evolution of stuff is fixed by fate, and not by god or man. 

In applying this pragmatist theory of evolution to aesthetic and
artistic concerns it may account for the why and way of artists
in the making of their artworks. The changes in the growth of
artists and in their artworks often seems to be out of their own
irritation and frustration with the current state of their
actions, which does not yet satisfy their needs. The direction
they take to resolution may however be other than a conscious
deliberate decision. The errors and falsities that arise in
exploring aesthetic and artistic paths that were not foreseen or
projected may even stimulate the artist into taking unplanned
alternate ways to get back on the track of finality. In keeping
with the tendencies of evolution, that finality as a good end
goal may yield results that can rest at a stage that is either
settled or completed or finished. In other words, a good final
work may be settled but incomplete yet finished, or settled and
complete but unfinished; although in any event still manage to
satisfy the realist tenets of pragmatist evolution.
