Very good analysis of the types of design. I don't remember seeing that before.

Excellent article. I would like to add that evolutionary theory only predicts a selection by negation; no forsight is suggested. One might sneak "final causes" into physics by appealing to Fermat's (and Hamilton's) "Principal of Extremal Action."
