Ask.
Which function does the machine assume in the design process? How can the generative process be classified phenomenologically? What is the input-output relationship of the machine?

Know.
Is the generative process synthetically characterized such as a batch program or is it a mimetic process that receives feedback and interacts with its surroundings? Or does the process phenomenologically correspond to emergent systems with network characteristics and a state of openness and uncertainty, which cannot be precisely controlled? Does the process function as a machinal observer, as an amplifier of artistic complexity, as permutational art, as a simulation of artistic creativity or as self-organized creation machine?

How.
Describe the specific functionality of the machine and make a sketch of its technical implementation. Use the above categories as guides.
