This is a really good summary of Chris Alex's notes and very different from other summaries which primarily focused on the timless and how buildings learn book.
I see... I really like what you write. I am following your sequence recommended for software designers by starting with the first two chapters of Notes on synthesis of form.
Maybe I should write about my thoughts of following your recs

It's a description of how in the design process, we work through step-by-step adaptation. We don't try to think up everything in advance; but we do it piecemeal, judging the fit with the context at each step.

I Kimsia, thank you for the kind comment.
I migrated my posts from my personal blog to Substack only yesterday, and you are the first to respond. Welcome :)
Oh I see
Guess you don’t mind the lack of canonical url linking huh?
I'm in the process of setting up a custom domain on Substack so that the SEO juice is attached to my domain instead of substack.
Moving to substack because I prefer not having to maintain my own blog's codebase & servers, and just want to focus on the content of my writing.

Is this a conclusion you draw from nature of order vol.2? Or was this explicitly stated by Christopher ALexander?

is there a direct quote you can link this to? i like to see what Ryan says in the full context of what he meant?
Update:
Never mind ignore me. I realize what's going on.
It's Ryan Singer at ard 1 hr 30 mins of his live stream on Christopher Alexander when he says this.
