Hi Eduardo,
Thank you for your advice and support.
My interest is a bit different from what you seem to imply in your advice for a better question!
Mostly it's about predictive design theory for wicked problems and the design situations on the other side of wicked problems, (a bit like making a mathematics of infinities).
Mostly the approaches I'm using focus on analysing the behaviour of the structures by which abstractions are coined and related in design, rather than on the things that are designed or the characteristics of the designs. There seem to be some signs of possibility of success and I published findings of some explorations a few years ago.
Currently, the challenge is how to link these kinds of design theories to the practical outputs of designers. Colour is a start.
I understand this way might be a bit unusual, but it seems to possibly offer some useful benefits down the track.
Warm regards,
Terry

Dear Terry
You wrote:
"From the discussion it seems clear that representing colour as continuous or discrete phenomena is very much a secondary consideration. I get the feeling that most people seem happy providing colour can be specified fairly precisely in *some* way.”
Maybe next time you may ask a better question…
Like: Assuming light is constituted of discrete wave lengths that isolated look different but together look uniform and colorless, would anyone be interested in discussing why we call that light “white”?
best regards
Eduardo
