Features: The study of how sensory factors create various art systems within works, as only through this final shaping of form does an artwork become concrete, existing, and an independent, self-sufficient entity. Only the ideal can become the content of this third realm of aesthetics, for it is here that the very concept of beauty in the overall worldview objectifies itself. Thus, the artwork should now not be understood as a whole divided into parts, but rather as an organism, where the differences, if differentiated into a series of essentially distinct worldviews in the second volume, now split into individual, concretized components, each of which is an independent, self-sufficient whole. Moreover, as individual, concretized wholes, they can be expressed through various artistic types. According to the concept, this new actual existence of art itself should indeed belong to a whole, but because this whole only becomes real in the current sensory realm, the ideal must now dissolve into its components, giving each component an independent, self-sufficient status, though they may also intersect, interrelate, or complement one another. This actual existence of the artistic world is the system of the various arts.
