Using engineering performance evaluations to explore design alternatives during
the conceptual phase of architectural design helps to understand the relationships between form and performance; and is crucial for developing well - performing final designs.
The keys to making headway in this early
conceptual phase of the new agreement is to be open to new ideas that can work in the real world and to keep our eyes on the prize of reducing emissions rather than insisting on old orthodoxies.

In each microgeny,
phases are
conceptual anchors in the continuous flux
of change.
Later
phases involve derivations
of conceptual prehensions and integral prehensions (Whitehead, Process 26).
The
conceptual resources primordially available to God for the supplemental
phases of his concrescence are boundless.
That is, the physical pole is normally understood as the initial
phase of conformal feelings that merely receives what is given to it, while the mental pole is normally understood as the supplemental
phases comprising pure
conceptual feelings would leave out the various propositional feelings Even if this were a correct understanding
of the mental and physical poles, it would still be inadequate, for the two poles would not include all
of God's feelings.
Rather than, as usual, assign the hybrid prehension
of God to the first
phase, with the
conceptual derivation in the second
phase (which would deprive the initial
phase of simple physical feeling
of any guidance by the subjective aim), we should think
of these two terms as referring to the same feeling.
While every
phase called «later» may not be really later (e.g.
conceptual reproduction),
phases of increasing determinateness would be.
Thus the start
of the second process corresponds to the
phase just beyond
conceptual reproduction, where the subjective aim is first needed, for it is needed for the responsiveness to novelty, whereas the initial process automatically unfolded itself.
There is secondary origination
of conceptual feelings with data which are partially identical with, and partially diverse from, the eternal objects forming the data in the primary
phase of the mental pole; the determination
of identity and diversity depending on the subjective aim at attaining depth
of intensity by reason
of contrast.
These latter prehensions would involve eternal objects by
conceptual valuation from God's physical prehensions
of the world or would bring in eternal objects in the later
phases of his concrescence in order to attain the unity
of God's satisfaction.
He takes the subjective process» (PR 224G) to be a distinct process, superseding «the dative
phase lacking subjectivity, but consisting
of transition, conformal feeling, and
conceptual reproduction.
That aim determines the initial gradations
of relevance
of eternal objects for
conceptual feeling; and constitutes the autonomous subject in its primary
phase of feelings with its initial
conceptual valuations, and with its initial physical purposes.
In order that the aim be active and effective with respect to all the feelings
of concrescence, Whitehead «requires that in the primary
phase of the subjective process there be a
conceptual feeling
of subjective aim» (PR 224G).
The occasion then begins to put the stamp
of its developing individuality on this material: the intermediate
phase is «a ferment
of qualitative valuation» effected by
conceptual feelings, some
of them automatically derived from the physical feelings
of the first
phase, others introduced because
of their contribution toward a navel unification.
«E.g., that the feelings which arise in various
phases of a concrescence be compatible for integration; that no element in a concrescence can finally (in the «satisfaction») have two disjoined roles; that no two elements can finally have the same role; that every physical feeling gives rise to a corresponding
conceptual feeling: that there is secondary origination
of variant
conceptual feeling; and that the subjective forms (valuations)
of the
conceptual feelings are mutually determined by their aptness for being joint elements in the satisfaction aimed at.
Now the
conceptual feeling
of eternal objects first occurs in the second
phase of concrescence, which is the
phase of conceptual feelings.
Furthermore, the exigencies
of his system required him to conceive
of the initial aim in terms
of single definite form: the «aim determines the initial gradations
of relevance
of eternal objects for
conceptual feeling and constitutes the autonomous subject in its primary
phase...» (PR 244).
Sherburne distinguishes four
phases in the concrescence
of an actual entity — the
phase of conformal feelings, the
phase of conceptual feelings, the
phase of simple comparative feelings, and the
phase of complex comparative feelings (WA 56; see also KWPR 40).
On first glance, it appears that eternal objects enter into concrescence only in the second
phase, which Sherburne calls the
phase of conceptual feelings (WA 49 - 54).
Destructuring contact3 (
phase of conceptual feelings) involves the complete abstraction
of the pure possibilities from the accepted given.
There is secondary origination
of conceptual feelings with data which are partially identical with and partially diverse from, the eternal objects forming the data in the first
phase of the mental pole.
This subjective aim, in its successive modifications, remains the unifying factor governing the successive
phases of inter-play between physical and
conceptual feelings.
That is why Whitehead can say that the prehension
of an eternal object (
conceptual prehension) occurs in a later
phase of the becoming
of an event than the immediate and unqualified physical prehension
of the whole given world
of becoming.
Accordingly, this «category
of conceptual valuation» states that, e.g., after having a feeling
of the green feeling in a previous actual entity, the present subject will in the second
phase of its experience feel green qua green, i.e., as a pure possibility, in abstraction from its ingression in the actual world.
In subsequent
phases of the becoming
of the occasion, complex syntheses
of conceptual and physical prehensions occur, but these are not our concern at this point.
It certainly includes God's
conceptual feeling
of eternal objects X and Y together with his feeling
of relevance
of Y to X. Hence no new hybrid prehension
of God is required in subsequent
phases.
Whereas in relation to other actual occasions their causal efficacy for the new occasion functions only in the initial
phase, this interpretation
of the rise
of novelty requires that God's causal efficacy function also in subsequent
phases since
conceptual reversion» occurs after the initial
phase of the occasion (PR 378.)
The rise
of these
conceptual prehensions constitutes the essential
phase of the mental pole
of an actual entity.
We might be further tempted to suppose that the first fifth is devoted to the initial
phase, the second fifth to
conceptual valuation, etc. lt is extremely difficult to determine whether any
phases of conceptual origination should be assigned temporal duration.
Then he recognizes that the subjective aim is «the basic
conceptual feeling
of subjective aim» capable
of having its own
phases of modification (Process 224).
The concrescence, however, uses these
conceptual phases for the sake
of a gradual process
of integration and re-integration until a determinate satisfaction is reached wherein all the simple physical feelings are fully integrated in terms
of their objective data by means
of one patterned contrast.
A proposition is a «contrast» (comparison)
of a reverted
conceptual feeling with physical feelings in the first
phase of concrescence.
First, in terms
of their origin in the second
phase of concrescence, ideas emerge as data

of immanence in feelings
of causal efficacy as the objects
of feelings
of conceptual reproduction and reversion.
according to the order
of dependence, I question the propriety
of assuming that the initial physical
phase is earlier than supplemented
phases of a purely
conceptual nature.
So, despite there being texts
of Suchocki in which God's third
phase (the last «one»
of the one - many - one) resembles a growing satisfaction, it appears to me that her interpretation contains a fundamentally different suggestion; namely, that there is no intrinsic enrichment
of God on the basis
of prehensions
of the world, and that these prehensions above all play a mediating role for God's unchanging
conceptual satisfaction.
Whereas in relation to other actual occasions their causal efficacy for the new occasion functions only in the initial
phase, this interpretation
of the rise
of novelty requires that God's causal efficacy function also in subsequent
phases since «
conceptual reversion» occurs after the initial
phase of the occasion.51 Second, if the prehension
of the novel eternal object is, in fact, a hybrid prehension
of God, then the new occasion should deal with it as it does with other hybrid prehensions.
The physical prehensions which are added to this primordial nature, do not as yet have to be brought to unity, but are prehended in terms
of God's
conceptual unity, and are thereby instantaneously absorbed into that unity: «in the process he [God] acquires a consequent multiplicity, which the primordial character absorbs into its own unity» (PR 349).19 The completely determinate final unity which Whitehead terms «satisfaction,» which is the culmination in a normal concrescence, and which is reached though
phases of indeterminateness
of the mutual relations
of the elements which partake in the concrescence (PR 25 - 26, 211 - 212)-- this completely determinate unity is not a finishing point for God, but a permanent characteristic
of God.
While the discussions are preliminary and
