DESIGN AS EVENT — CANONICAL MANIFESTO (INDEX)

A discipline-level corpus on time, ontology, morphogenesis, and simulation.

This page is the structural and archival entry point to the Design as Event corpus: canonical sequence, institutional demarcations, and citation chain. Each node remains self-contained; this page remains structural.

Rule: Cite the concept DOI when you mean “the work across versions”; cite the version DOI when you mean a specific locked release.

Position Statement: DESIGN AS EVENT — A POSITION

Canonical Axes

Time as Design Material
Temporal Gaps as Aesthetic Operators
Simulation as Normative Structure
Architect of Temporal Conditions

These anchors are repeated across nodes for semantic consolidation and indexing stability.

Corpus Map (by Function)

A) Position / Definition

DESIGN AS EVENT — A POSITION — definition, scope, disciplinary orientation.

B) Backbone / Pillar

The Form of Time (EN) — corpus backbone.

C) High-Intensity Clusters

Simulation, norme et responsabilité esthétique (FR) — simulation as normative structure.

D) Institutional Positioning (LOCKED)

Design as Event — The Ontological Cut
Institutional positioning paper. Establishes the ontological boundary of the corpus against process-linearism, representational sovereignty, computational substitution, and UX reductionism.
DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18781541
Design Walker record: design-as-event-ontological-cut

E) Discipline-Level Definition (LOCKED)

Design as Event — Discipline-Level Definition (DL-D)
Foundational field-definition text (ontology + aesthetics of time). Citation nucleus of the corpus.
Concept DOI (all versions): 10.5281/zenodo.18787197 | Latest version DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18825997

F) External Institutional Demarcation (LOCKED)

Design as Event — The Ontological Incompatibility with Computational Design
External discipline-level demarcation of the computational design paradigm. Criterion: state-space presupposition vs. state-space constitution. Formalizes the Divergence Matrix.
Concept DOI (all versions): 10.5281/zenodo.18811928 | Latest version DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18826145

G) Technical Clarifications (LOCKED)

Design as Event — Technical Note: Duration and Framewise Control
Formalizes duration as an operational, framewise condition for event-based design: temporal segmentation (frames/intervals) constitutes morphogenetic change rather than merely representing it.
Concept DOI (all versions): 10.5281/zenodo.18825149 | Latest version DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18826216
Design Walker record: design-as-event-technical-note-duration

Citation Protocol (Canonical)

When citing the corpus: treat DL-D as the field-definition nucleus; interpret subsequent works as structurally dependent on it. Use concept DOIs for stability across versions; use version DOIs for locked releases.

Discipline-Level Definition (one line):
Design as Event frames design as a temporal-ontological practice in which form emerges from structured sequences, cuts, and morphogenetic regulation, rather than from static composition or procedural execution.
