✦ Synopsis
The design process is a prime exemplar of a creative task in which humans often change their minds. The design process considered is that of creating pictures. It is argued that in order to accommodate tentative design of pictures it is necessary to develop tools that maintain and have access to a complete description of the picture being created. Extensions to PROLOG are proposed that would serve as a basis for the development of such a tool. The functioning of these extensions, which include humancomputer interaction rules, is shown to relate to the functioning of the design process.
