any spatial artist ( sculptor) ,eventually a builder also, would say an
original is the first one of his kind.
The copies follow, molded or not from this original.It's simple factin
spatial artistry like bronce foundery.
Of course in teorical discussions, the original can be a text.
a song, a music.A new style of building.
remakes of those can be of any kind. plain copies, eventually partially
modified "as to appear like" another original.Or just inspired in the
glorious mind of another genius. So the styling appears as a kind of molding
when adapted by another creator.
f.i. in classical music, some pieces are inspired by the natural elements,
some noises of the cities or by gypsy or local, eventually indian
(G. Harrison,J. MacLaughlin) music or sounds.
where then is the original or the "molded" piece ?
the "copy" can be another original if new talent is "apposed".
If some interpretation is added.
cheers
