“Puzzles are so enjoyable. They reel you in. Distractions around you disappear as you focus on the solution. Being forced to use your wits is life affirming. And deductive reasoning in simple logical steps is comforting, especially when real life is so illogical.”

James Burke “We abhor complexity, and seek to simplify things whenever we can by whatever means we have at hand. We need to have an overall explanation of what the universe is and how it functions. In order to achieve this overall view we develop explanatory theories which will give structure to natural phenomena: we classify nature into a coherent system which appears to do what we say it does.

“The scientific method is a pattern of problem- solving behaviour employed in finding out the nature of what exists, whereas the design method is a pattern of behaviour employed in inventing things of value which do not yet exist.

“Humans did not discover fire — they designed it. The wheel was not something our ancestors merely stumbled over in a stroke of good luck; it, too, was designed…This has been the contribution of all designers throughout human history. Outside of nature, they are the prime creators of our experienced reality. Harold Nelson & Erik Stolterman, The Design Way.
