This research outlines a formal theory concerning (i) the                  process of design, namely that it can be defined to be a                        variant of computability, the Turing machine, (ii) the                          artifacts of design as strings enumerable by a Turing machine,                  and (iii) the rules of design as formal state changes that                      govern the string enumeration by the Turing machine.  It is                     currently the case that such a design language exists whose                     strings are interpretable as that of physical solid objects                     analogous to discrete goods in engineering.  This view of                       design yields a new approach that can serve as a formal                         foundation to understand both the general notion of design as a                 formal process that remains invariant under design contexts, as                 well as a specific understanding of the application of design                   in engineering.
