[ structural utility of theory
- high stuctural utility compared to other theories (that I know of)
= survey
( to be sure, it needs some effort
- G
- found structurally useful in explaining the felt need of way formation
- felt first in overplanning initiative, elaborated in Metagov list
- F
- found structurally useful in explaining the radical freedom (even by modern standard)
of practical facilities (above)
[ feasibility of application
= replace with better-formulated hypotheses of theory text
[ H1. Other engineers share my [e]valuatation of reason (P2) and respect for modern physics (P1)
( hypothesis 1
- but construction of effective, principled forms depends only on willing labour of engineers
- all other resources being given
- therefore the construction is feasible
[ H2. Many in modern society feel the need for an ultimate end (G)
( hypothesis 2
- therefore feasible to introduce the constructed forms of G to society at large
( and those of F, though less in question, F already being accepted and familiar
- without assuming too much of on the part of its members
[ one-sided rationality in practice design
( from Habermas
- though way formation is properly considered moral-practical
- somehow it feels cognitive-instrumental
- possible solution
( though premature to consider, when problem not yet clearly understood
- introducing
[ aesthetic-practical
- mythopoeic art
( e.g. whence I began in 1988
[ cognitive-instrumental
- moral theory
( e.g. this one
- but what is the formal fit?
- or, if not fitted formally, then how does it affect the problematic feel?
