The pieces, whether single modules or complex, multi-part structures, are the result of a strict,
predetermined logical system that excludes the factor of the artist's personality.
In contrast to the aesthetic order implicit in Kukai's view of nature and contemporary science and process thought, the «
logical order» of mainline Christianity characterized by Ames assumes: (1) preassigned patterns of relatedness, a blueprint» wherein unity is prior to plurality, and plurality is a «fall» from unity; (2) values concrete particularity only to the degree it mirrors this preassigned pattern of relatedness; (3) reduces particulars to only those aspects needed to illustrate the given pattern, which necessarily entails moving away from concrete particulars toward the universal; (4) interprets nature as a closed
system of
predetermined specifications, and therefore reducible to quantitative description; (5) characterizes being as necessity, creativity as conformity, and novelty as defect; and (6) views «rightness» as the degree of conformity to preassigned patterns (NAT 116).
