Could you clarify this? Designs have an objective existence: fashion, buildings, watches. In what way do you see it as an emergent pattern, excluded from objective reality?
Yes they have objective existence AFTER the fact of our creating them. But they don't exist in nature on their own. What we see useful vs not useful (or some pattern we can see vs some randomness) informs our sense of design.
