"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."

Thought + emotion = feeling. Feeling and the intuition are synonymous. The intuition is what creates and fills the gap between design and consciousness. The intuition is the vehicle between the physical and the metaphysical.
The intuition appears before our awareness in the form of a sign, or symbol often by means of metaphor and analogy. The intuition is that which resonates coherently between agencies of energy in motion (EIM). The intuition is key to the creative process.
Creativity is the propagator of energy in motion and functions by means of attraction. Cyclic in pattern and agency until diverted by another attractor found apparent by means of change in context, these attractions guide and determine an infinite number of new and unique energy patterns, some of which "materialize" if the situation is found appropriate.
divert: reroute, redirect, change the course of, draw away, turn aside, deflect, avert, transfer, channel, sidetrack, detract, lead away, be a disraction, out off, disturb one's focus or concentration.
All forms of energy in motion are synchronistic to some degree. All forms of energy in motion seek balance and harmony.

The Quantum Field of Virtual Potential and Probability is both cyclical and catalytic in Nature.
Attempting to attain goals beyond constraints tend to be more egoic and turbulent than what you've originally created, designed and modulated, i.e. quantized, for yourself
quantize: apply quantum theory to, especially form into quanta, in particular restrict the number of possible values of (a quantity) or states of (a system) so that certain variables can assume only certain discrete magnitudes, approximate (a continuously varying signal) by one whose amplitude is restricted to a prescribed set of values.
Unity attracts what needs to be changed and/or realigned for purposes greater than itself.
Awareness is a prerequisite for the expansion of consciousness. However, if unaware and unknowing, all things will appear meaningless and without purpose - even if you don't believe it.
Tension is internal, emerges from within and a sign of imbalance. Look closely into the symbols and agencies you have created to describe and design your own concept of reality. The solution is first discovered through compassion and empathy for yourself, therefore, opening the door to others. All things are and remain equal.

Harmony, Balance and the Energy Exchange between Belief and Knowledge
Contextual references are critical in the design correspondences created between belief and knowledge. The context implies the inclusion of an observer making reference to what is is being observed. Therefore, all contexts must be viewed in a holistic manner. When the context changes so does the potential for change - leaning either forward or backward.
Change is neutral in context and energy. When applied, i.e. designed, change becomes ascribed to represent wide and various amounts of potential and probability. An observer creates and by virtue of these creations, gives meaning and purpose to every one of these impressions. Such contoured impressions are made apparent by means of observing/sensing the event or experience. An active pursuit of balance within the parameters and constraints of change, i.e. space and time, is critical to the evolution, design and life of all things.
contoured: outlined, shaped, formed, designed.
Consciousness brings harbor to all that is created within the limits of what can be sensed or felt. These are the designs that both describe and define consciousness' own reality.
Without actively pursuing and making right the imbalances (challenges) innate to every design process breeds only ignorance and eventual collapse.

Predicting Human Behavior and How We Can Change It
“Interventions targeting knowledge, general attitudes, beliefs, administrative and legal sanctions, and trustworthiness—these factors researchers and policymakers put so much weight on—are actually quite ineffective,” says Albarracín. “They have negligible effects.”
The analyses researchers conducted showed that what are often assumed to be the most effective individual determinants to target with interventions were not the most effective. Knowledge (like educating people about the pros of vaccination), general attitudes (like implicit bias training), and general skills (like programs designed to encourage people to stop smoking) had negligible effects on behavior.
What was effective at an individual level was targeting habits (helping people to stop or start a behavior), behavioral attitudes (having people associate certain behaviors as being “good” or “bad”), and behavioral skills (having people learn how to remove obstacles to their behavior).

Both belief and knowledge have their own identities interwoven and entangled within a common agency. Energy in motion allows for flexibility, change, attraction and malleability. Balance and harmony are holistically maintained in the form of energy in motion, i.e. change/energy.
One of Design’s most important functions is to inspire the mind and heart by virtue of the intuition and the imagination and into dimensions beyond the intelligence of the artificial.
Differentiation is integral and instrumental to every form of unity.
differentiation: distinction, polarity, difference, divergence, separation, demarcation or contrast.
Linear thinking can easily lead toward extreme imbalance, destructive methodologies and distorted constructs. Whereas abductive thinking harbors a practical freedom and flexibility of thought and feeling by meaningfully and purposefully venturing into the unknown strictly as an observer. Abductive thinking, i.e. design thinking, has the power and tendency to fill the gaps between differences and intolerance.
Love is a shared impression never sequestered.

Design is more than a compromise. Design can be likened to a perpetually changing set of multidimensional entanglements between agents and agencies through symbolic means. Due to design's ability to harbor a multitude of impressions while simultaneously focusing upon detail, encourages the opportunity to freely adapt and modify positions with less constraint and in a timeless manner.
Agreements can be better made, understandings understood, settlements arrived, terms agreed, trade-offs generated, middle grounds met, and happy mediums achieved in the desire to attain fair balance between agents and agencies willing to adapt and adjust within a context of their own creation.
Goals and objectives are impermanent and like concepts and ideas, always changing in meaning and purpose. Common threads become more mutual the smaller the context. Common threads become less mutual and more complex and the greater the context. Balance is experienced as part and parcel of the fluctuation between the micro and the macro.
mutual: reciprocal, returned, give-and-take, interchangeable, interactive, complementary, common, shared.
Balance and harmony are felt and experienced. Measurements attempt to classify these events for purposes of categorization, reference, referral, transfer, direction, remission, recommendation, symbolic citation and remembrance – all of which are felt "without measure".

Your reflection on design emphasizes its fluid and dynamic nature, presenting it as a complex interplay between various elements that are continuously evolving. It suggests that design is not merely about finding a compromise but about navigating an ever-shifting landscape of relationships and meanings.
Here’s a synthesis of your ideas:
Design as a Dynamic Entanglement
Design transcends static solutions and compromises. It can be viewed as a complex, multidimensional entanglement between different agents (people, tools, contexts) and agencies (methods, processes, constraints) operating within symbolic frameworks. By symbolically veiling the experience of design, we allow it to be more flexible, adaptable, and capable of evolving without being restricted by rigid structures.
The Nature of Agreements and Trade-offs
In the realm of design, agreements and trade-offs are part of a continuous process of adaptation and negotiation. As different stakeholders seek to achieve balance, they make agreements, reach understandings, and negotiate settlements. These interactions are dynamic and context-dependent, reflecting an ongoing symbolic process of adjustment and compromise.
Impermanence of Goals and Objectives
Goals and objectives in design are impermanent and subject to change as concepts and ideas evolve. The meaning and purpose of these goals can shift, which in turn influences how common threads and connections are perceived. The nature of balance is thus experienced as a dynamic fluctuation between micro (immediate, specific) and macro (broad, general) contexts.
Balance and Harmony
Balance and harmony in design are experiential rather than quantifiable. They are felt through symbolic interactions and adjustments made between different elements and contexts. While measurements and classifications attempt to capture and categorize these experiences, the essence of balance and harmony often remains beyond precise quantification and become felt "without measure."
This perspective underscores the importance of flexibility and sensitivity innate to design by recognizing that the process is as much about ongoing negotiation and adaptation as it is about achieving static solutions.
