now why you are making the claim you made. (I’ll worry about that at another time.) I don’t know what claim you made. > You cannot remain in gestalt theory when approaching design. Are you saying that gestalt theory is applicable to other things but not to design? That it is insufficient to explain design? That it mis-explains design? That it is never useful for design? That is is generally useless? That it is false. . . ?
