Robust vs. Soft Constructions (Laborde 2005)
Robust Constructions
- dragging provides a visual verification of the validity of the construction
- dragging is not verification but part of the construction itself
- the general can emerge from the specific during thorough searches for the set of loci in which the given conditions are fulfilled
- offer a transition from an empirical approach to a theoretical approach
