a product that is an arrangement of matter by people and follows a pattern and has meaning

Art (noun) means: a product that is an arrangement of matter by people and follows a pattern and has meaning. It emerges from products, people, pattern, matter: People put matter into arrangement and make products that follow patterns and have meaning, which together make a special structure. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 10, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
