Method-System Tools
*Autonomous morphocenters*Markers have interface
requirements and functions, represented diagramatically
by boundary conditions and points. The details of the
elements shape and internal organization are left
unspecified. (William J. Mitchell)

Epistemological
Relationships (How do we know?) and Strategies
- sensate (empiricist, materialist,
phenomenological/ontological)
- idealist (essentialist, fundamentalist,
ontological, theological)
- interactionist (method, systematic,
dialectical, schizophrenic, pragmatic, poetic,
tropical or rational modes - Deconstruction?)
Space/Time Relationships
- Spatial Operations:
- sensory-motor
- concrete operations
- formal abstract operations
- Spatial Syntactical Relationships (Le
Corbusier, Colin Rowe, Norberg-Schulz, Eisenman
72 et al.):
- topological (Piaget)
- projective (Piaget)
- euclidian (Piaget)
- non-euclidian (Heelan)
- Spatial Reference Systems:(Piaget)
- egocentric action space
- fixed-external, path-type
- survey multiple coordinated system of
reference
- time relationships: synchronic,
diachronic
- Movement (change of position) and acts
of Measurement
Semantic Relationships (Nelson
Goodman)
- denotation
- exemplification
- expression
- mediated reference

| Matter-invariants Terminals
have known geometry and behaviors, in other words, they
have identity. That is they can be drawn in complete
details, and do not contain terms with unknown values.
The functional description of a terminal represents
empirical knowledge (including experience or world 2 and
3) of how this type of element actually behaves. (William
J. Mitchell)

Form
- Geometry/Morphology (B. Fuller, Haresh
Lalvani)

(Vitrivius, Leon Krier, De Stijl,
Eisenman, Puriny, Lynch)

other perceptual building blocks
(Mach, Husserl)
- technology/structural systems (B.
Fuller, Haresh)
- material (Breuer)
- site: underground, over, edge,
terraced
Behavior
- known human experience/culture
- small economy of meaning
- narrative/precedent/fact/the made (Vico)
- episodes/places/sample/diagrams
- World 2 (Popper)
- mental states:
emotional/psychological states
- personal memory (Aldo
Rossi)
- World 3 (Popper)
- the world of the products of
human mind such as stories,
explanatory myths, religion,

or false), building technology,
