Find the Corresponding Recipe
"Human problem solving, from the most blundering to the most insightful, involves nothing more than varying mixtures of trial and error and selectivity."
"Pictures, blueprints, most diagrams, and chemical structural formulas are state descriptions. Recipes, differential equations, and equations for chemical reactions are process descriptions."
"The general paradigm is: given a blueprint, to find the corresponding recipe. Much of the activity of science is an application of that paradigm: given the description of some natural phenomena, to find the differential equations for processes that will produce the phenomena."
