Design is not optimization. You don't go from a poor solution to an elegant one by following a gradient of success.
-
design as a search problem is an analogy that resonates with mehttps://www.are.na/block/4517474
I see it as constraint satisfaction regularised by a desire for simplicity. This could be approached via search, but not exclusively

If simplicity is formalised, then that's a well-posed constrained optimisation problem. Optimisation ! = gradient descent

Formalizing simplicity is a search problem.
