of variation and selection,
repeated–searches for solutions

14. This thesis presents the hypothesis that randomness as
employed as part of a creative methodology leads to
outcomes which are both provoking and utilitarian.
In contrast to established practices, which are rightly
concerned with system stability, randomness leads to
innovation through diversity.
Such a hypothesis, through its public celebration of
oddness, could lead to services for neglected fringe
communities, highly nuanced services, and aesthetics
that cause reconsideration and reflection.
