Can you design an experience by remixing?

Experience is an emergent property.

Defining the characteristics and behaviours of emergent properties cannot be successfully achieved by swallowing the component parts of that experience, or its platforms, or of the communities, or of processes that give it life.

So can you design experiences by read and remix? At first yes, and beyond that, possibly, but once all those rehashes have been inferred, you still end up with a complex system that hides its emergent properties…

Do you think maybe we need some design folk to put their minds to solving this?
