I am trying to understand the ontological transition from an essence to another in the particular case of art, in order to comprehend what is necessary to a medium and what is contingent to it.

I am "working" on creation in general and trying to figure out certain aspects of the concept of new.

Right now, and accepting this thread as truth, I am deducing a very modest scheme of composing elements, from wich a high percentage of necessary elements means an Archetypical item and a high percentage of necessary elements means a Specific item.

An item without contingency is an abstract conceptualisation, or a perfect platonic idea of said item.

When the contingency outweights the necessary (on what criteria ? quality, quantity ?) then we are in presence of a new essence. I call this the essence shift.

Pic very related.

Of course I am probably very wrong and only have a surface understanding of such complex problems, but I really enjoy studying this topic.

Thanks everyone for your help
