"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 Template
Design functions within a quantum field of virtual potential and probability (change<>energy).
Design is the symbolic and metaphoric language that harbors the transformation, transition and transmutation of energy, light and information.
transmutation noun the action of changing or the state of being changed into another form: the transmutation of the political economy of the postwar years was complete. • Physics the changing of one element into another by radioactive decay, nuclear bombardment, or similar processes. • Biology, chiefly historical the conversion or transformation of one species into another. • the supposed alchemical process of changing base metals into gold.
Currently science is our most accurate design method used to observe, perceive and measure the universe. However, when observing and measuring light, energy and information we soon realize that every perception, observation and calculation can also be somewhat fuzzy around the edges (phi). All that appears to be “fuzzy” merely outlines the tolerances necessary for all systems of energy, light and information to function collectively and appropriately. All networks require frequent lubrication.
tolerance|ˈtäl(ə)rəns|noun1the ability orwillingnessto tolerate something, in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with:thetoleranceof corruption|an advocate of religious tolerance.2the capacity to endurecontinuedsubjection to something, especially a drug, transplant, antigen, or environmental conditions, without adverse reaction:thedesertcamel shows the greatest tolerance to dehydration|various species of diatoms display different tolerances to acid|specieswere grouped according to pollution tolerance.•diminution in the body's responsetoadrugafter continued use.3an allowable amount of variation of aspecifiedquantity,especiallyin the dimensions of a machine or part:250 parts in his cars were made to tolerances of one thousandth of aninch.
A field is made apparent (conscionable) by means of design.

Design creates the symbolic and metaphoric link between all fields of energy in motion, i.e. change, within a QFVP.

metaphoricadjective characteristicof or relating to metaphor; figurative:many of our metaphorical expressions develop from our perceptions of thebody."The design triad (art/science/philosophy) creates an alchemical mix unique to consciousness.
Design strives for balance by means of proportion. Design describes the relationship between the macro and the micro. Design creates the symbolic and metaphoric link between the conscious and the unconscious. Design, i.e. meaning and purpose, lies veiled in the subconscious.
subconscious| səbˈkänSHəs | adjective of or concerning the part of the mind of which one is not fully aware but which influences one's actions and feelings: my subconscious fear. noun (one's/the subconscious) the subconscious part of the mind (not in technical use in psychoanalysis, where unconscious is preferred).
The design path begins with opinion leading to facts, knowledge, understanding, intuition and continues in wisdom. This describes the linear course. Every step along the way becomes more integrated, cohesive and embracing and the perceiver/observer/designer more conscious. Upon entering the field of wisdom all forms of intelligence partake in a more expansive and comprehenisve concept of wholeness.
There are three states of awareness that perform the function of consciousness with the most important being the observer as witness.

To be conscious is to be aware of yourself and your surroundings both subjectively and objectively. Awareness includes the ability to perceive, participate and observe yourself both subjectively and objectively. Awareness and therefore consciousness, takes a quantum leap when the observer becomes a truthful witness to their own conscious awareness.
To be conscious is to be aware. To be aware is to be conscious. Consciousness is a reflection of awareness. Awareness is a reflection of consciousness. Awareness is a form of enlightenment. Consciousness is light.
To design is to be meaningful and purposeful. Meaning is a reflection of purpose. Purpose is a reflection of meaning. Design is the language of conscious awareness.
Design creates the fulcrum about which both consciousness and awareness communicate energy, light and information with purpose and meaning.
Awareness brings forward a “sense of consciousness” by fostering correspondences and fusing the concepts of meaning and purpose. Metaphysical in content and context, quantum, fractal and holographic in representation, all forms of energy/Life are revealed and made apparent by means of Design. Design is lovingly veiled in all that can be seen, known, measured and/or felt. (12.10.2022)
Design describes a metaphysical and multidimensional process. The design process is dependent upon knowledge, understanding, intention, intuition, imagination and awareness. Design creates a network of energy in motion (EIM) between fields/states/points/agents and patterns of awareness. Design creates a virtual, symbiotic and metaphoric lattice between consciousness, the subconscious and the unconscious, the tangible and the intangible, the known and the unknown, the seen and the unseen. All forms of energy in motion are based upon principles of meaning and purpose both felt and understood. (01.13.2023)
What is a designer?
Designers are men and women who are faithful to themselves and others, who creatively abide and amalgamate their skills and knowledge with love and integrity - the goal: personal, collective, global and soular balance and harmony. (09.01.2022)
The design process is a spiritual journey.

I believe the field of design metaphysics is subconsciously apparent and unwittingly revealed in many of the investigative efforts that create and give rise to the scientific paradigm. I believe certain design "attributes" are symbolically veiled in the form of perception and observation. In reference to pursuing this supposition I have pointed out and commented upon the events and revelations resulting from these investigations. In turn, I hope to uncover the intimate relationship between the scientific method and the field of design metaphysics.
"Abductive reasoning cannot give us certainties. However, it can provide explanations backed by evidence. Therefore, it is best to keep to the simplest and most probable explanation possible when using it."
“A research team at Kyoto University’s Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics has now proposed a novel approach to this long standing problem by defining energy to incorporate the concept of entropy. Although a great deal of effort has gone into reconciling the elegance of general relativity with quantum mechanics, team member Shuichi Yokoyama says, “The solution is shockingly intuitive.”
The research team has observed that the conservation of charge resembles entropy, which can be described as a measure of the number of different ways of arranging parts of a system.
And there’s the rub: conserved entropy defies this standard definition.
The existence of this conserved quantity contradicts a principle in basic physics known as Noether’s theorem, in which conservation of any quantity generally arises because of some kind of symmetry in a system.

"An important concept in physical systems is that of order and disorder (also known as randomness). The more energy that is lost by a system to its surroundings, the less ordered and more random the system is. Scientists refer to the measure of randomness or disorder within a system as entropy. High entropy means high disorder and low energy (Figure 1). To better understand entropy, think of a student’s bedroom. If no energy or work were put into it, the room would quickly become messy. It would exist in a very disordered state, one of high entropy. Energy must be put into the system, in the form of the student doing work and putting everything away, in order to bring the room back to a state of cleanliness and order. This state is one of low entropy. Similarly, a car or house must be constantly maintained with work in order to keep it in an ordered state. Left alone, the entropy of the house or car gradually increases through rust and degradation. Molecules and chemical reactions have varying amounts of entropy as well. For example, as chemical reactions reach a state of equilibrium, entropy increases, and as molecules at a high concentration in one place diffuse and spread out, entropy also increases."
3D space/time describes a systemic state/dimension of low entropy. Three dimensional space/time appears and disappears within a cacophony of entropic intensity beyond measurement/awareness, i.e. a QFVPP.
Modulating streams of potential, i.e. energy in motion/randomness, await focus/recognition. Potential "forms" of energy, light and information appear chaotic until symbolically patterned by means of coherent resonance. (design).

"Covariance
In probability theory and statistics, covariance is ameasure of the joint variability of two random variables.[1] If the greater values of one variable mainly correspond with the greater values of the other variable, and the same holds for the lesser values (that is, the variables tend to show similar behavior), the covariance is positive.[2] In the opposite case, when the greater values of one variable mainly correspond to the lesser values of the other, (that is, the variables tend to show opposite behavior), the covariance is negative. The sign of the covariance therefore shows the tendency in the linear relationship between the variables. The magnitude of the covariance is not easy to interpret because it is not normalized and hence depends on the magnitudes of the variables. The normalized version of the covariance, the correlation coefficient, however, shows by its magnitude the strength of the linear relation."

Design metaphysics embraces the concept of joint variability (covariance) by virtue of the symbolic relationships created between form and formlessness, events and experiences, meaning and purpose.
The symbolic coupling/s between mind/emotion, emotion/feeling, intuition/intellect, tangible/intangible best describe the beginnings of a design conscious network.

"How can one get the experience of red out of a function? The experience of red is not simply a quantity, such as the number 1 or 665 nanometers. 'Red" wavelengths of light are 665 nm. No, red is a quality."
Yet, if science is based on data, our experiences are the data of science, and as we have just seen the qualitative features of experiences (such as the experiences of what red looks like) cannot be expressed in term of functions, then as a matter of science we should conclude that functionalism is false: our experiential data shows that conscious experience is not merely a function. It is something more.
Our brains somehow put together (or 'combine') these qualities in a coherent way through analog processing, much as a painter has to put colors together on a canvas.
