Some people like some art, some people only prefer high art, and some people don't understand true art at all. Basically, that section of the book explains the various distinctions within a population with respect to their taste. He lists Barbarians, Philistines, and the Populace for their archetypal cultural value. These are almost like archetypal distinctions, or perhaps they just are archetypal.
Within the tree that is any given culture, Arnold says that a person can expect certain meta-structures to exist. The waves occur whenever a person is raised to the level of the zeitgeist, so that culture is a very complex and simultaneous expression of many people's impressions about life. In physics, there are matter and energy, particles and waves, and by showing that culture has an end it is trying to attain, culture is more like a fluid with energy in waves. In Arnold's analysis, culture is shown as a dynamic approach to something specific, but since culture is a collaboration between the entire public, the approach is not always fully realized.
