If beauty were a 100m dash, 99 of those 100 meters could be universal by process, but unless you can take that last 1m step then the x is not beautiful, or is missing something we find relevant to beauty compared to some other peer that possesses it. The relationship could be reversed, as well. Most everything could contain the opportunity to employ those adapted processes that release chemical satisfaction, with the only significant disparity being the presence or absence of the subjectively or relatively valued.
