Programming and cognitive sciences...

The more I learn about programming (= reading about LISP temporarily), the more I come to realize that many insights in design and engineering will probably arise from the field of cognitive sciences. Design and engineering are divided into analyses and synthesis of concepts, and for both area's, we know about training methods (reading books, building prototypes, having discussions). Programming is so useful because it allows us to visualize, to transform and to transmit structures of information, such that we can deal with fluid concepts one day, adding a new dimension to understanding and learning.
