Dear Terry,
You’ve taken the time to acknowledge the other replies and to say that you’d answer the several questions placed before you, but you did not respond to my question.
I asked a question that you can easily answer. Your replies to several people leave the answer open and ambiguous. With respect to some replies, the answer seems to be “yes.” With respect to others, the answer seems to be “no.”
It seems to me that you have repeatedly made this claim:
There is a workable quantitative method for modelling design that accounts for complex dynamic systems with multiple loops of action and behaviour in a predictable way.
Do you believe that this is so or do you not?
This question goes to your beliefs and your claims, not to your reasoning. I will welcome your answer. If you want to elaborate your answer, I’ll be happy to read what you have to say. For now, I am asking a simple question, phrasing it in my words. The answer I’d welcome is the answer to this precise question:
Do you claim that there exists today a workable quantitative method for modelling design that accounts for complex dynamic systems with multiple loops of action and behaviour in a predictable way?
Yes or no.
You call for straight writing in plain language. I will welcome a clear, straight answer in plain words.
Yours,
Ken
