People are misunderstanding. I mean how would you determine that an artifact was engineered rather than natural? Like an alien object? What specific heuristics would you apply? It feels obvious with human ones but making the principles explicit is not easy.

Buckminster Fuller comes to mind

He was prolific. The Montreal sphere is one artifact, and concepts like tensegrity continue to inform new fields like synth-bio, for example. The tendency to do more with less, he called it 'ephemeralization'

You mean like statistical mechanics or systems engineering or systems thinking? Not sure what you mean by laws. Many laws are invariants derived from mathematical principles. Systems study is more about emergence and phenomenology that appears than reductivism to invariants.

Wouldn’t that just be...engineering? Like, the field of study?

Engineering design maybe? Mech design principles are a thing, coupled with universal design principles and systems design. "Has it been designed, y/n" may be not formalized except in some PhilSci, bc engineers don't usually examine why the principles apply, just which ones do.
