      ABSTRACT

      The ideal state of omnicompetence is not a static state where all desires are satisfied. It is a state of alternating satisfaction and dissatisfaction. Herein lies a problem. It is so easy to fall by the wayside by being satisfied where you are and not progressing, or by being so dissatisfied with the perceived lack of progress you simply give up ideal pursuit. The purpose of the ideal state of re-creation is to make people dissatisfied when they are satisfiedinspirational purpose (intensifying emotions), and satisfied when they are dissatisfied-cathartic purpose (purging emotions). The purpose is to re-create the creator. “The artist creates no new ideals; he creates the creator of ideals” (Singer 1923, p. 40). Ackoff and Emery (1972, pp. 244-245) succinctly describe this ideal:

      Aesthetics is the philosophy of sensuous experiences (Fenner 2003). It includes experiences induced by art, nature and the environments we live in (home, gardens, cities, etc.). Artistic aesthetic experiences can be produced by static artefacts, e.g., a sculpture or painting, or by motion, e.g., a play, an opera, a dance or a musical performance. Beautiful artworks produce positive aesthetic experiences. Therefore philosophers have devoted time and effort trying to understand the meaning of beauty. They use the term beauty in two completely different ways (Lorand 2000):

      1. It is used as a general term to refer to all aesthetic experiences. 2. It is used to refer to a measurement or a range of measurements of

      aesthetic value.
