Exploratory engineering (original) (raw)
Exploratory engineering is a term coined by K. Eric Drexler to describe the process of designing and analyzing detailed hypothetical models of systems that are not feasible with current technologies or methods, but do seem to be clearly within the bounds of what science considers to be possible within the narrowly defined scope of operation of the hypothetical system model. It usually results in paper or video prototypes, or (more likely nowadays) computer simulations that are as convincing as possible to those that know the relevant science, given the lack of experimental confirmation. By analogy with protoscience, it might be considered a form of protoengineering.

Eric Drexler para descrever o processo de desenho e análise modelos sistêmicos hipotéticos que não são viáveis com os métodos e tecnologias atuais, mas aparenta estar claramente dentro dos limites do que a ciência considera possível dentro de regras de operações estritamente definidas para o modelo de sistemas hipotético. A engenharia exploratória costuma resultar em protótipos de papel ou de vídeo, ou (mais comum nos dias atuais) modelos de computador que são convincentes o bastante para os que conhecem a relevância da ciência, dada a falta de confirmação experimantal. Em analogia à protociência, a engenharia exploratória poderia ser considerada uma forma de protoengenharia. (pt) |
