When to design for emergence? - interesting thoughts from rhizome r&d, can be considered when working on code based, generative systems too https://newsletter.rhizomerd.com/p/when-to-design-for-emergence "Design for emergence prioritizes open-ended combinatorial possibilities such that the design object can be composed and adapted to a wide variety of contextual and idiosyncratic niches by its end-user. LEGO offers an example — a simple set of blocks with a shared protocol for connecting to one another from which a nearly infinite array of forms can emerge. Yet as we will see, design for emergence can generate value well beyond children’s toys."

"Rather than designing the end result, we design the user’s experience of designing their own end result." - sounds like the case with musical instruments for example. When i designed digital music toys for iOS a few years ago, I found it a really interesting epistemological challenge - I had no idea what people will do with the systems that I provide to them and it was really moving to see how they were using the tools
