"Man's striving for order, of which art is but one manifestation, derives from a similar universal tendency throughout the organic world; it is also paralleled by, and perhaps derived from, the striving towards the state of simplest structure in physical systems"

Rudolf Arnheim's quote suggests that humans have a natural tendency to pursue order, which is shown in art. This propensity is also seen in the organic world, and might be derived from the physical world's propensity to strive for the simplest structure. This idea suggests that humans are naturally drawn to order and structure, and that this is reflected in art. It indicates that art is a manifestation of our natural desire for order, and that this desire is shared by the natural and physical worlds. This quote suggests that order is a basic part of deep space, which people are naturally drawn to it.
