The aim of this chapter is to identify the criteria for a change of
the project model and its results in terms of the production of possible
individuals and of the capacity to generate evolution.
The first level relates to a quality which functions as a dynamic verification
instrument within the paradigm of complexity, which is not measured as the
overall capacity to respond to needs expressed more or less as a difference
between an imaginary, desired and existing virtual scene. Indeed, when "man
is faced with a choice he does not operate analytically (which in the long
run does not bring about an evolution but amounts to the repetition of what
is known) but imagines one or more virtual worlds and opts for that which
is closer to the mental image of the virtual world that he could imagine."

Identity as a guarantee of quality is an important parameter, "that
environmental quality which protects man from getting lost and which is
defined by Lynch as imaginability. It is that form, that colour, that order
which facilitates the construction of well-identified, strongly structured
and therefore very useful mental images of the environment." 39
The second level involves the image which is in continuous evolution
because, like the real world evolves, the imaginary one also evolves towards
increasingly desirable new scenes. It is in this very evolution, in this
subsequent accumulation of meaning, where we can find the mechanism which
allows the measurement of the correspondence between the real and the intersubjective
images.
The verification of exceptions should not be seen as a mistake because
they are in that they can overturn the paradigm and they allow the proliferation
of new virtual scenes.
The same exception, controlled by an "On-Off" switch within
a precise structure, once accepted will come into play again as a subsequent
request and will play a role in the growth of the complexity of the artificial
event characterising individual events. |
