Unlike strictly scientific principles, design principles often evolve through a much less structured history of innovation and application. Ideas arise from inspirations in particular contexts. They become generally held principles only after they have been appropriated, transformed, and used to good effect over and over again. Further ideas may turn them inside-out. Accordingly, good designers, informed by the history of their art, must appreciate the mutability of every design decision.
