Deisgn is ...

... Design is enabling-by-constraint. It is defining and building a structure for a [product] that is enabling-by-constraint special forms of "use".

Design becomes part of the [product], inasmuch the "use" itself is fed back into the machine and creates additional functionality of the [product] itself that attracts further use, and so on.

- Visual design is just using consumer attention feedback for selling the product. It is not part of the product as long as this is done "outside". But as products [items] become brands [complex physical-human feedback machines], design becomes a substantial part of the product itself.
- Architectural design is creating "use" which is feeding back basic vitality into the architectural shell, and so on.
- Software Design is enabling-by-constraint data flows in way that certain complex requirements are executed well.
- User Experience Design is enabling-by-constraint user interactions that can be used a Soylent Green for nurturing and fuelling the machine.
