How to look for new Laws (Designs, Concepts, or Principles)…
First we Guess; then…
We Compute the Consequences of the Guess to see what it would imply; then…
We Compare the Computation results to Nature, or Compare to Experiment, or Compare to Experience… of direct observation; to see if it works.
If it Disagrees with Experiment, it is Wrong; this simple Statement is the “Key to Science;” it does not matter how beautiful the Computation, or Who expressed it, it is Wrong.
So the simple concept sequence is…
Guess → Compute Consequences → Compare to Nature, Experiment, and Experience
