Cybernetic entanglements where collective thought and action create progress as technological metamorphosis – mind and body as organism and environment. John Kellden - Google+ - Collaborative Culture at Work In its Open Source Blog… Join. Eight Strategies for Comprehensive Anticipatory Design Science. "The function of what I call design science is to solve problems by introducing into the environment new artifacts, the availability of which will induce their spontaneous employment by humans and thus, coincidentally, cause humans to abandon their previous problem-producing behaviors and devices.

For example, when humans have a vital need to cross the roaring rapids of a river, as a design scientist I would design them a bridge, causing them, I am sure, to abandon spontaneously and forever the risking of their lives by trying to swim to the other shore.

Levi Bryant is Professor of Philosophy at Collin College in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area.[1] He is a member of the object-oriented philosophy movement and coined the term object-oriented ontology in 2009.[2] His own version of object-oriented thought, called 'Onticology', disprivileges human experience from a central position in metaphysical inquiry, while holding that objects are always split between two domains, virtuality and actuality.[3] For Bryant, virtuality refers to the powers and potential of any given object, whereas actuality designates the qualities manifested by the actualization of an object's potential at any given point in time.[4] Bryant has also written extensively about post-structural and cultural theory, including the work of Gilles Deleuze, Jacques Lacan, Jacques Rancière, and Slavoj Žižek.
