Seit jeher schlägt sich die menschliche Kultur mit einem Anderen ihrer selbst herum. Bis vor Kurzem durfte man noch einhellig der Meinung sein, es handele sich dabei um ,die Natur‘, verstanden als vorkultureller Ursprung der Kultur und womöglich deren versöhnliches Ende.

Computer programming is about algorithms, formal logic, precise reasoning and problem solving. As such, it would appear to have little to do with what we call creative expression. The logical act of programming and the self-expressive act of creativity would seem to be polar opposites.

The hypothetical time traveler whom Michael Stal wrote about in his 2006 article “From the Future” would be disappointed to learn that “prehistoric computer science,” as the temporal traveler termed it, has not changed much as of 2011, five years down the road.

It is necessary, in building towards a Design Process Support Software Application, to design and program a Rules and Pattern System as an extreme form of bottom-up object-oriented intelligence (pragmatic AI) that has a direct relationship between perception and action without a guiding top-down intelligence.

In Reflections on a Theory of Organisms: Holism in Biology, Walter M. Elsasser argues that the task of elaborating a truly scientific biology still lies ahead of us. Physics and chemistry, in their current states of knowledge, are truly scientific, according to Elsasser.
