The Conceptualization of Form

That which is the essence is the question.

What is the ontology of form or thought?  Form, is the ideal substance that is a priori condition of existence.  The essence of form precedes the existence of form.  All forms have conditions that exist as properties (conditions of form).  And all forms have forms of conditions which are physical constructs or assemblies of properties called attributes.

Firstly, one must establish the condition upon which form (essence) exist.  The conceptualization is the essence or abstract entity that sponsors the becoming reality as it is manifest from one’s (designer’s) existence (essence precedes existence).  Why must one establish this form as termed?  The conceptual form exists as point of departure from which the designer becomes as a unique writing able to determine an articulate system of thought. As such the first form is an abstract substance as well as physical representation regarding the world. 

Essence is an abstract entity.  This entity only exists as an sense response of the designer. Beyond the designer the response has no meaning.

The first form of a given work must be an abstraction.  Abstract in that the first is a derivative | emergent form of one’s sense response.  The designing subject’s sense of place being the identification of Ambiance as 1st thoughts (system of ideas).  The sense as can thusly become the recognition of a potential form (idea).  The form as recognized exist as a reference from which systems of ideas can generate intendant potentials.  First forms allow for the concretization of object existence as such by identifying the meaning surface upon which a logic formation may be brought forth.

Within the studio systems of thought (method) first forms exist as a way of thinking (idea).  The ‘way’ or simple idea locates the form (object) of expression as the site of phenomena to be experienced.  The phenomena are conditions of the form that conceptualize how the intention as determined shall be designed and experienced.

Forms are posteriori forms that exist only as a referent directed at first forms.  The potentials refer to the intendant (idea) as a variety of forms of conditions that reveal potential phenomena to be sensed.
