The thread is getting interesting.
I wish I have more time. But lets see
if I could add some quick thoughts before bedtime.
Gunnar mentioned about nature.
I think all design solutions are directly or indirectly come
from nature. Nature supplies the best solutions to different problems.
The trick is to find the way to the solutions in our own
human man made way. How do we learn from nature depends
on individual's own way of looking for/investigating the problem
and the given answers that are in our environment.
Susan mentioned about mental disorder and schizophrenics.
Good thinking cannot come from a chaotic mess up
orderless system.
A discipline sense of good order and clarity, an astute and diligent
mind that observes the intricate laws of nature and find the solutions within.
Actually there aren't that many rules around. You need to abide
with the fundamental few and the rest of your methodologies can
be formed by modification or created from observing what is given
in nature but yet undefined.
