Dear Terence:
In the nascent scheme I am sketching and indeed argued in my little-read paper on the topic,
aesthetics is at the core of design http://www.svid.se/en/Research/Design-Research-Journal/Research-articles/Research-articles-2017/What-is-it-like-to-see-a-bat/
The test of whether an object conforms to design ideals is "would you draw it like that?". Luckily as I understand engineering design, it passes that test.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Richard

Hi Richard,
Isn't aesthetics also one of those things outside of design?
Best wishes,
Terence
