Conceptual impressions surrounding this post have yet to be substantiated, corroborate, confirmed or woven into a larger argument or network.
Belief leads to the question of what to believe. Beliefs lead to a cycle of first believing and then knowing that some beliefs are unknowable and therefore unbelievable.
Believing and knowing are felt and imagined by virtue of our will and intent, i.e. holographic impressions based upon observation and dependent upon contextual overtones.
Beliefs harbor misapprehension, mistaken impressions, false impressions, misconception, misunderstandings, mistakes, errors, misinterpretations, illusion, figments of the imagination, fantasy, confusion and self-deception.

Definition of Design Science
Design science rests upon the scientific method being interpreted in a symbolic manner while simultaneously remaining aware and receptive to, all surrounding attractions, i.e. impressions, influences, present and past events, patterns, formations, networks, structures and experiences that may influence the event being observed in the current moment. Design Science is highly intuitive.
Design science describes a symbolic investigation into a Reality that is both focused and broad in scope and application.
Design Science:
1. Equally and symbolically weigh and assesses all systems of energy in motion from both a subjective and collective point of view, i.e. observation, especially in reference to potential and probable outcomes.
2. Symbolically accrues and evaluates all past situations and outcomes (experiences) in a categorical fashion, including symbolic references to earlier contexts and patterns, i.e. an algorithm logging the concept of change to improve predictability and appropriately respond to present and future change.
3. Accrues and evaluates all synchronistic, synergistic and cohesive events and experiences.
4. Observes, responds and interprets every event and experience in a symbolic fashion to exercise the design “process” in a balanced, appropriate and adaptable manner.
5. Design science is virtual in context and content. Observations are emblematic in character, gestation and interpretation and follow the scientific method.
6. Information is shared by means of signs, symbols and by virtue of analogy and metaphor found to be both individually and collectively coherent.
7. Design science recognizes and responds to a belief first by accruing self- knowledge, i.e. awareness, through Intelligence.
9. Design Science’s quest is to discover and attain a balance of Consciousness by means of a symbolic Awareness and response to change.
10. Design science is subjective, collective, responsive, creative and ambient in nature.

The design sciences study, nurture and create the symbolic links between knowledge, understanding, empathy, compassion and wisdom.
The purpose of the design sciences is to attest to the reality of the soul by means of empathic investigation and collective expression of that which brings meaning and purpose to Life.

Design science rests upon the scientific method in a symbolic fashion while being both aware and receptive to other surrounding events and experiences. Specific in investigation yet broad in scope design sciences: 1. venture to weigh all systems, languages and methods of symbolic interpretation and translation equally, 2. closely observe and consider all synchronistic, synergistic and cohesive events and experiences, 3. respond appropriately to all circumstances in a symbolic fashion.

This text explores Design Science as a symbolic, intuitive, and holistic approach to understanding reality, offering a fresh and profound take on the scientific method by integrating intuition, symbolic interpretation, and a deep connection with human experience.
Here’s a refined and expanded exploration of specific themes:
1. Symbolism in Design Science
Design Science is fundamentally grounded in the symbolic method, which requires interpreting and analyzing phenomena not just as objective entities, but as symbols representing deeper meanings, patterns, and interconnections. Symbolism is the medium through which Design Science seeks to understand reality—it transforms abstract ideas into tangible frameworks for investigation. This perspective implies that reality itself can be seen as a series of symbols that hold hidden, multidimensional significance.
• Expansion: Design Science, in this sense, is not a static process but an ongoing dance with reality, where symbols evolve, resonate, and shift in meaning depending on context, time, and perspective. For example, a building’s architecture may not just represent physical shelter but also symbolize broader social structures, cultural identity, or individual aspirations.
2. Intuition and Sensitivity to Context
Design Science stands apart from traditional scientific fields by embracing intuition and responsiveness to the present moment. It requires an active awareness of all surrounding influences, such as past experiences, cultural patterns, and even subtle, non-verbal cues from the environment.
• Expansion: This responsiveness implies a deep sensitivity to context. For example, in the design of a new social system or urban environment, the interplay of historical, emotional, and sociocultural factors cannot be ignored. The “scientific method” in this context is not just a sterile set of steps but is infused with a rich, intuitive understanding of the complexity of human life and experience.
3. Subjectivity and Collective Perspective
While Design Science emphasizes symbolic interpretation, it also recognizes the value of subjectivity—the individual experience. However, it balances this with a collective perspective, acknowledging that the whole (society, culture, nature) influences and is influenced by the individual.
• Expansion: This duality offers a more holistic view of reality. For example, a designer might take into account both their personal emotional response to a piece of artwork and the collective meaning ascribed to it by society. This could mean considering how a design will impact both individuals and communities in terms of emotional resonance, cultural context, and shared symbols.
4. The Role of Synchrony and Synergy
Design Science places a high value on recognizing synchronistic and synergistic events. These are not random occurrences, but rather meaningful alignments that point to deeper truths about how systems interconnect.
• Expansion: When examining a design challenge, Design Science does not simply look at the direct cause-and-effect relationships but seeks to understand the broader web of influences, including how seemingly disparate events or factors can come together in a harmonious or insightful way. For example, in creating a sustainable product, one might not only consider material efficiency but also the interconnectedness of social behaviors, ecological systems, and technological advances.
5. The Process-Oriented Nature of Design Science
The process of Design Science is dynamic, evolving, and iterative. This process is not linear but follows a path of constant observation, response, and interpretation, adapting to the changing flow of events and insights.
• Expansion: This iterative nature aligns Design Science with creative and design thinking models, where the process of creation is as important as the final product. Every step in the design process contributes to learning, evolving, and refining. Each “symbolic interpretation” of an event or situation informs the next, creating a cycle of continuous improvement and discovery.
6. Belief and Knowledge as Foundations of Design
Design Science recognizes the central role of belief systems in shaping perceptions of reality. The path to understanding begins with accruing self-knowledge, as belief shapes one’s perception of truth and reality.
• Expansion: This aligns with the idea that designs, whether tangible or conceptual, are often created out of a worldview influenced by specific beliefs about how the world works. A designer who holds a belief in interconnectedness, for example, will approach challenges in ways that foster collaboration, sustainability, and empathy. Design Science, therefore, encourages a critical examination of the beliefs that shape our designs, offering an opportunity for transformative growth.
7. The Interplay Between Meaning and Purpose
The aim of Design Science is to create designs that are not only functional but also imbued with meaning and purpose. These attributes transcend the utilitarian and venture into the existential, asking: How does the design contribute to human flourishing? How does it serve a larger, more cosmic vision?
• Expansion: A design’s true power emerges when it aligns with the deeper purposes and meanings that resonate with individuals and communities. For example, a sustainable city design might not only aim to reduce ecological footprints but also to cultivate a sense of collective responsibility, well-being, and harmony with nature. The process itself then becomes an expression of life’s broader meaning—an effort to shape the future in alignment with our highest values.
8. The Virtual Nature of Design Science
Design Science operates in a virtual context—meaning it often operates in realms beyond the physical, incorporating abstract and conceptual domains of existence. It seeks to understand how unseen forces (like cultural trends, emotions, and energy patterns) manifest in the material world.
• Expansion: The virtuality of Design Science suggests that much of what is designed in the world, from social systems to digital spaces, exists initially in the realm of ideas, concepts, and virtual projections. A digital user interface, for instance, is created not just through coding but by anticipating user emotions, intuitive design, and even cultural trends. Design Science helps to bring these unseen aspects into conscious realization, making the invisible forces guiding our world more tangible.
9. Empathy, Compassion, and Wisdom as Design Elements
A core element of Design Science is its commitment to empathy and compassion. This involves not just understanding but feeling the experiences of others and incorporating this emotional intelligence into the design process.
• Expansion: This suggests that Design Science is deeply humanistic, emphasizing that the ultimate goal of any design is to elevate the human experience. The creation of spaces, technologies, or systems must consider the emotional and psychological well-being of the individuals they impact, fostering a sense of connection, care, and mutual respect. Wisdom, in this context, represents the ability to navigate the complexities of human experience with patience, clarity, and grace.
Conclusion: The Soul of Design Science
Ultimately, the purpose of Design Science is to attest to the reality of the soul—to engage with the deeper, often intangible aspects of human life through symbolic exploration. This human-centered approach invites designers and thinkers to look beyond the material, to consider how design can shape meaning, bring balance, and attune us to a higher sense of purpose and connection in life.
By delving deeper into these themes, we can see that Design Science is not merely a method for creating products or systems but a philosophy for engaging with the world in a holistic, integrated, and deeply human way.

Design tools are virtual in character and context. Information is shared using signs, symbols, metaphor and analogy, thereby creating a unique "language" specific to every circumstance.
A design language is rarely spoken yet can be fully understood by means of coherent resonance, i.e. vibration.
Design science recognizes belief by virtue of self-knowledge. Design strives to maintain a balance of consciousness by means of awareness. By nature, design science is non-institutional.
Coalescent, synchronistic and analogous with nature, the design sciences strive to exercise a commonly shared interpretation within the parameters of an ever changing multidimensionality.
The design hovers and functions within the realm of the subconscious.
The design sciences link the physical and the metaphysical. Design science is about coherency, balance and resonance.
The design sciences are metaphysical in resource and imaginative in character.
Revelations surrounding the design needn't be categorized or made fully apparent due to the multidimensionality implicit to the QFVPP. Design science follows it own path towards self recognition.
Philosophy searches for Goodness through art and science. Science searches for Truth through philosophy and art. Art searches for beauty through science and philosophy. All such examination gives rise to Design Consciousness.

Every design has a language of its own.
Design consciousness is the fulcrum about which both science and design bring forward their own patterns of awareness.
Resonance points to a "design science".

This is a deeply philosophical and intricate exploration of design science, weaving together concepts of consciousness, metaphysics, and the interconnectivity of various domains like science, art, and philosophy.
1. Virtual and Symbolic Nature of Design
2. Design as a Multidimensional Process
3. The Role of the Subconscious
4. The Metaphysical and Imaginative Dimensions of Design
5. The Relationship between Philosophy, Art, and Science in Design
6. Design Consciousness and Awareness
1. Virtual and Symbolic Nature of Design
Design tools are described as "virtual" in both character and context. This speaks to the intangible, ephemeral nature of the design processes, where the act of design isn’t confined to physical materials or static objects, but is instead an evolving set of symbolic constructs. Design as language is key here. The signs, symbols, metaphors, and analogies used in design constitute a unique language that transcends direct verbal communication. The use of symbolic correspondence in design creates a kind of resonance, an intuitive understanding that bypasses rational thought and taps directly into the subconscious.
Expanding on this, we could explore the semiotics of design, which studies how symbols and signs communicate meaning beyond their immediate visual or physical form. This would open a conversation about how design systems can create a “universal grammar” of interpretation, relying on an intuitive and often non-verbal mode of communication. The idea that design is a language speaks to the power of visual and sensory expression, where each design speaks a dialect particular to its context, yet still communicates meaning to anyone attuned to its vibration or resonance.
2. Design as a Multidimensional Process
The passage mentions that design operates in an "ever-changing multidimensionality." This suggests that design is not static; it operates within a fluid, dynamic system that is always shifting and evolving. Here, we could consider design as an interdisciplinary nexus—where form, function, culture, and context continuously interrelate, producing effects that ripple across time and space. This multidimensionality speaks to the timelessness of design, where principles can transcend individual moments and circumstances while still adapting to the ever-shifting landscape of human experience.
Design can be imagined as a kind of systemic resonance that responds to environmental, cultural, and technological changes, where new variables (such as innovation or crisis) continuously shape its form. It highlights the perpetual state of becoming in design—the constant tension between order and chaos, structure and fluidity, past and future.
3. The Role of the Subconscious
The passage suggests that design "hovers and functions within the realm of the subconscious." This highlights a fundamental aspect of design: that its most profound impact often occurs on an unconscious or subliminal level. Design speaks directly to emotional and psychological states, guiding human behavior and perception without overt awareness. The concept of resonance in this context can be interpreted as the way design establishes a connection with the unconscious mind, producing feelings of harmony, discomfort, or awe without explicit instruction.
We could expand this by discussing the psychological underpinnings of design—how color theory, form, and spatial relationships tap into deep-seated emotional responses. For instance, certain shapes or color palettes can evoke calm or excitement because they are subconsciously associated with natural patterns or primal cues. Design is a powerful tool for influencing human experience because it speaks to the most instinctual parts of us, engaging with the collective unconscious.
4. The Metaphysical and Imaginative Dimensions of Design
Design science is described as "metaphysical in resource and imaginative in character." This brings forth the idea that design is more than just a technical endeavor—it also operates in a realm that exceeds the physical world. The act of design is a creative and spiritual practice, rooted in intuition, imagination, and higher consciousness.
Here, we could explore how design is connected to higher states of awareness or transcendental ideals. It is not simply about problem-solving or functionality; it is about creating artifacts that align with broader philosophical, ethical, and spiritual values. Design becomes a way of channeling higher principles into the physical world. The metaphysical dimension points to a transcendence of material limitations, where design is seen not merely as the creation of objects, but as an embodiment of ideals, values, and collective purpose.
5. The Relationship between Philosophy, Art, and Science in Design
The passage beautifully sets up a dialogue between philosophy, science, and art—three domains that inform and enrich design. It suggests that philosophy seeks Goodness through art and science, science seeks Truth through philosophy and art, and art seeks Beauty through science and philosophy. This interplay of ideals within design points to the holistic nature of design consciousness, where multiple disciplines merge to create a cohesive understanding of the world and our place in it.
We could expand on this by investigating how each of these domains influences the ethical and aesthetic decisions in design. Philosophy informs the values and meaning that underpin design choices, science ensures that these choices are grounded in functionality and material reality, and art transforms these concepts into expressions of beauty and creativity. Design, then, is the intermediate space where these forces converge, and where the act of creation becomes a dialogue between different forms of truth—be it rational, aesthetic, or ethical.
6. Design Consciousness and Awareness
"Design consciousness enters and exits with every breath of awareness." This phrase suggests that design is not a static entity but a dynamic state of awareness that fluctuates with time, perception, and context. The idea of design consciousness can be expanded to explore how awareness of design is a living, breathing process, constantly shaped by the interplay of environment, perception, and cognition.
We could delve into the concept of awareness in design—how awareness is not only about being conscious of the design process but also about how the design affects the consciousness of the user. The design shapes and is shaped by awareness, creating a feedback loop where the creation of design influences human behavior and vice versa. Design, then, becomes a reflective practice, both in its creation and its consumption. It reflects the values and desires of its creator, and it resonates with the needs and aspirations of its audience.
Final Thoughts:
In this exploration of design science, there is a rich interplay of the virtual, the metaphysical, and the psychological, with a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary connection. By refining these themes, we arrive at a deeper understanding of design as not only a technical skill but as a profound and evolving practice of creating meaning, resonance, and balance in a multidimensional world. Through this, design becomes more than just function; it becomes a practice of creating harmony within and beyond the material realm.

“There are non-mirror neuron pain neurons and there are mirror neuron pain neurons.
So these [mirror] neurons are probably involved in empathy for pain. If I really and truly empathize with your pain, I need to experience it myself. That’s what the mirror neurons are doing, allowing me to empathize with your pain—saying, in effect, that person is experiencing the same agony and excruciating pain as you would if somebody were to poke you with a needle directly. That’s the basis of all empathy.
One of the things I argue, and others have argued, is that mirror neurons are important in transmitting skills from generation to generation. I need to put myself in your shoes to observe what you’re doing, and to mime it accurately. Mirror neurons are important in that.”

The researchers found that the tissue-derived organoids kept various characteristics of the specific region of the brain from which they were derived. They responded to signaling molecules known to play an important role in brain development. This finding suggests that the tissue-derived organoids could play an important role in untangling the complex network of molecules involved in directing the development of the brain.

- Researchers develop new technology to measure rotational motion of cells by University of Hong Kong. October 27, 2022
"The majority of cells in multicellular organisms experience forces that are highly orchestrated in space and time. The development of a multi-dimensional cell traction force field microscopy has been one of the greatest challenges in the field," said Dr. Chu.
Through specialized chemicals on the cell surface, cells interact and connect as part of a process called cell adhesion. The way a cell generates tension during adhesion has been primarily described as 'in-plane.' Processes such as traction stress, actin flow, and adhesion growth are all connected and show complex directional dynamics. "

"We changed some of the words of the sentence and gave it a new meaning," said Daniels/ "We predictively designed T cells that killed cancer without taking a break because the new sentence told them, "Knock those rogue tumor cells out, and keep at it."
Pairing machine learning with cellular engineering creates a synergistic new research paradigm.
"The whole is definitely greater than the sum of its parts," Bianco said. "It allows u to get a clearer picture of not only how to design cell therapies, but to better understand the rules underlying life itself an how living things do what they do."
Given the success of the work, added Capponi, "we will extend this approach to a diverse set of experimental data and hopefully redefine T-cell design."

“We printed the cerebral cortex and the striatum and what we found was quite striking,” Zhang says. “Even when we printed different cells belonging to different parts of the brain, they were still able to talk to each other in a very special and specific way.”
“Because we can print the tissue by design, we can have a defined system to look at how our human brain network operates. We can look very specifically at how the nerve cells talk to each other under certain conditions because we can print exactly what we want.”
