Has anyone ever done a systematic study of the laws of engineered systems? Like how we have laws of physics and principles of biology? Thinking stuff like: - they have lots of right angles - they have pure materials - weak fractal structure - symmetries etc

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.
