Can you claim that an accidental aspect of a photograph is artistic? Does every little thing in a photo have to be intentional?

That's kind of the whole fun of film photography and especially double exposure, where you shoot through the whole roll twice and see what happens, instead of planning out every frame. Hell even long exposure shots have a certain level of uncertainty and randomness.
I bet there are photographers better than me that always know exactly what their film photos will end up looking like, but for me it's always a little adventure to get my scans back having already forgotten half the pictures I took on the film a month ago. As much as it's sometimes disappointing when a picture you thought would be good turned out shit, there's also always that great feeling of having a picture you thought would be mid turn out really great.

Well, I take snaps while walking my dog at night with few seconds exposure time and of random things like snow clumps and flowing water &cet to edit. I find the resulting incomprehensible mess interesting. I do not think that kind of stuff has any value than I or on anyone else subjectively sees in it.
(An old snap of turbulent water, few minutes in gimp.)

Anything we humans do or in the current of the nature can be artistic not just with in the scope of photography. Even if there is no actor or subject that willed to make it artistic. The photo can come around to containe artistic sense.And all photographie is not art. and it shouldn't be.
It can convey artistic senses but not be an art.In fact, determining the photographie as an art is disrespecting it's fundamentals. If you treat it as an art form it becomes not photographie anymore.Then, what is the fundamentals of photography?
Capturing the fraction of time you experienced which cannot be replicated.
No painters no hyper-realism artist can't do this shit.Because painters realize their image from their imagination and memory at the best to get close
to the photography's inherit objectivity. Among human's tools and ways of representation only photography can literally, captures the reality even before you memorizing or perceiving it (which is quite related to your question "Accidents in photograpie").

the whole of art photography is centered around lying about accidents
>it's symbolic of the intersectional synergizing of the narratives

No
Does every little thing in a photo have to be intentional?
No
For something to be "art" it has to be intentional though.
Accidents, fate and chance do not make a photo art or artistic.

Was the Titanic sinking art? Was the Chernobyl Disaster art? Was the child you accidentally knocked up your cousin with art?
The answers to these questions are the answers you're looking for.
