"Quite clearly, our task is predominantly metaphysical, for it is how to get all of humanity to educate itself swiftly enough to generate spontaneous social behaviors that will avoid extinction."

Design: A Quantum Leap into Universality
Conceptual impressions surrounding this post have yet to be substantiated, corroborated, confirmed or woven into a larger argument, context or network.
Design is a multidimensional and systemic phenomenon based upon signs, symbols, metaphor and analogy.
Design is an intellectual, intuitional and imaginary exercise in consciousness. Design symbolizes the true "i".
Design moves laterally only because it is so imaginative ... "i".

The "i" is brought forward and made aware by the imagination. The "i" defines the observer and is more than imaginary. The image is what what reflected upon under the guise of duality.

Imaginary Qualities:
- cycle through a set of values
- always return to the first power
- imaginary numbers are real
- when multiplied by itself it returns to itself
- real numbers are used far less than imaginary ones
An imaginary number is a number that, when squared, has a negative result. Essentially, an imaginary number is the square root of a negative number and does not have a tangible value. While it is not a real number - that is, it cannot be quantified on the number line - imaginary numbers are "real" in the sense that they exist and are used in math.
Imaginary numbers can also be applied to signalprocessing, which is useful in cellular technology and wireless technologies, as well as radar and even biology (brain waves).
