I really am interested to see if a consistent method employing consistent criteria can distinguish between natural and designed objects.

So am I:^).

I'm having real difficulty coming up with a coherent, consistent distinction between "designed" and "natural object". I'm not even sure if that is the proper distinction because one of the questions I have been wrestling with in trying to solve these problems is whether or not there even any such thing as a "non-natural object". Maybe things such as numbers, propositions, and thoughts, etc. are, but that possibility is not helping me very much with this test:^)

Cordially,
