Building the Vessel - Part 3: The Design and The Beginning of The Voyage
The design became one analogous to building a 3000 piece puzzle. In classical thought, experiments and evidence are just used to show theory. This is the purpose of experimentation. In this vessel, the fundamental mechanism no theory exists for experimentation to show. Instead, a collection of observation (over time) provide the pieces of the puzzle, which (once enough pieces have been collected) a picture can be assembled. The physical equivalent is the dots and lines that make up a video image (or compiled image). The more dots and lines (in a plane - square or rectangular area) the better you can see the image or video. Subsequently, the more pictures of an object (in time) the better your accuracy in recording its motion or movement. This basic method has been given the term - *exploratory research*. Exploratory research is a non-classical scientific method that is objective. In this method, there is no purpose, even the method(s) is determined in the environment being studied. No conclusions are made until enough evidence (or pieces of the puzzle) have been collected, and a clear picture begins to form. The two analogies that best fit this new method is the 3000 puzzle, and a leisurely random walk on the beach. The first was experienced early on and help shape the new method. The second came later, as the work on the vessel progressed. A 3000 piece puzzle is not an easy puzzle and it can take more than a month to complete. The problem is the sheer number of pieces that have to be assembled to see the picture it makes. The obvious place to start is with the piece that form the edges. Then from there, it's a repeatable algorithm of search and order. The algorithm essential functions as follows: Pick a number of pieces Sort according to shape and color Look for matching pieces If there are matching pieces assemble, If not move to the next step Pick some more pieces Sort adding to pieces adding to pieces already sorted or assemble if there are pieces to assemble This algorithm is repeated until the puzzle is complete. To apply the puzzle analogy to a leisurely random walk on the beach. In this model, the beach is the environment to be study, rather than going with a plan of what we want to see, we go with no plan and randomly walk along the beach. As we walk we pick up bits that we find interesting. These objects are placed in storage until enough objects (including pictures, videos, etc.) have been collected that they can be sorted. As the objects in storage are collected (repeated tips to the beach) and and sorted, a picture of the environment can begin to be developed. This method can be applied universally, as it is here. It's with this method that the vessel was constructed and with this method that the voyage began.
