* control space can be represented with formal "behavioural" models (our models thus far haven't delved too deep here); design approach stresses the importance of the model user being an active part of the system, and source of novelty and learning. | * control space can be represented with formal "behavioural" models (our models thus far haven't delved too deep here); design approach stresses the importance of the model user being an active part of the system, and source of novelty and learning. | ||
