Dear Ken,
yes, indeed, you are correct. In the three hour seminar we would ceratinly cover these aspects of non-thing things.
As Seinfeld might say: "There's the thing."
cheers

Subject: Re: On the Topic of Topics
Dear Keith,
While your note on topics clarifies some issues, it muddies Herbert Simon’s concept of design. You write, “We even find Herbert Simon’s model of making things better through acting on things in the world - that is, design as fixing.”
While Simon’s model *includes* acting on things and fixing things, it is not *limited* to acting on things and fixing things.
