摘要本文研究的主题是设计意向性。本文关注的是心灵的属性，持有意向状态（其能力，以代表或反映现有的和不存在的现实），并与这些心理状态的方式，在设计任务的构建。其目的是开发一个设计意向性的数学理论，捕捉的结构和过程，具有处理设计任务的心理能力的意向系统的特征。意向性的哲学概念是从复杂性理论的角度进行方法论探讨。更具体地说，重点放在数学表征的组织复杂性的意图状态和类型的相变发生在设计任务期间的意图系统的心理状态。本文使用范畴理论，以建立一个框架，能够在数学上捕捉这些概念的含义。
Abstract The subject of this paper is design intentionality. The paper is concerned with the property of the mind to hold intentional states (its capacity to represent or reflect existing and nonexisting realities) and with the way that these mental states are constructed during design tasks. The aim is to develop a mathematical theory of design intentionality, capturing the structures and processes that characterize an intentional system with the mental ability to address design tasks. The philosophical notion of intentionality is approached methodologically from a complexity theoretic perspective. More specifically, the focus is placed on the mathematical characterization of the organizational complexity of intentional states and the type of phase transitions that occur on the mental states of an intentional system during design tasks. The paper uses category theory in order to build a framework that is able to mathematically capture the meaning of these notions.
