As a plant evolves in its phases of growth, as do design systems.

Germination

Planting the seed. It contains the vital information to begin the process and take it through all the phases. With a burst of energy the beginning of growth is in motion.

Vegetation

For growth to continue an energy transaction is required to convert energies from inputs, allowing components to form from the increase of function availability.

Budding

New form can take place at this mature phase and care should be taken to ensure growth is not restricted. Environmental parameters may require attention to ensure good growth.

Flowering

Successful establishment of components that are able to take on more energy and grow to their full potential.

Fruiting

Mature components that have completed the full cycle of energy transfer from external to within. They are somewhat complete in this form and can be harvested and used to grow more.
