4. Principle 1 - Map the design space
Define feasible regions
Explore trade-offs by designing multiple alternatives
Communicate sets of possibilities

5. Principle 2 - Integrate by intersection
Look for intersections of feasibility sets
Impose minimum constraints
Seek conceptual robustness

6. Principle 3 - Establish feasibility before commitment
Narrow sets gradually while increasing detail
Stay within sets once committed
Control by managing uncertainty at process gates
