Hi Thomas,
Thank you for your post.
I've suggested elsewhere in phd-design that the primary purpose of design theory is to predict the behaviour of design outcomes.
You will find it at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa-jisc.exe?A2=ind2002&L=PHD-DESIGN&P=R373&X=0C500EDD869594C0EB&Y=t.love%40love.com.au
Incidentally, at the time in hat debate Klaus argued strongly against the idea that the purpose of theory was to predict the future.
He seems to have changed his mind after that discussion.
Best wishes,
Terence
