I think a designed artefact can be perfect but only for moment,
because as the world changes around it it loses its 'perfect fit.'
I'm reminded of the opening chapter of "Fight Club":
"What Tyler had created was the shadow of a giant hand. Only now the
fingers were Nosferatu-long and the thumb was too short, but he said
how at exactly four-thirty the hand was perfect. The giant shadow hand
was perfect for one minute, and for one perfect minute Tyler had sat
in the palm of a perfection he'd created himself. You wake up, and
you're nowhere. One minute was enough, Tyler said, a person had to
work hard for it, but a minute of perfection was worth the effort. A
moment was the most you could ever expect from perfection."
Cheers
Dave
