"The making of the Cordus conjecture is a thought exercise in engineering design. It uses intuition (subconscious associations) to come up with a creative idea (the two reactive ends with the fibril), and then synthesize sufficient assumptions (the lemmas) to logically explain various known physical phenomena. It is an engineering design way of thinking, which is very different to the conventional mathematical method of quantum mechanics. Also, it is qualitative and descriptive, as opposed to quantitative." "Dirk, as the primary author, is a mechanical engineer. Hence the design-synthesis approach to complex problem-solving used in this work." -M
