This document discusses exploring error and mistakes as opportunities for discovery. It presents the hypothesis that mechanical errors provide opportunities for communication and collaboration that occur outside of human rationale. Rather than disregarding unintended errors, the document argues they should be explored through experimentation in order to find inspiration and illumination beyond what is intended. Errors are inherent to human nature and represent unintended discoveries, so we can learn from interpreting them and finding new avenues of exploration.

- 4. This thesis presents the hypothesis that mechanical errors are forms of technological collaboration and resistance that provide an opportunity for communication and discovery. Rather than disregarding these interventions, the unintended ends should be explored and embraced. Since errors are found accidentally, experimentation should be conducted, both to explore this opportunity for communication, and because errors often provide great sources of inspiration and illumination outside of the limits of human rationale. sierra siemer / directed research
