The objective of this research is to relate the language game proposed by Wittgenstein to design theory in the context of philosophy of Artificial Intelligence. Wittgenstein put forward the theory of language game in his later philosophy, believing that language is a kind of game. Since the process of language game between human beings is a process of showing intelligence, the language of game can be used to test machine intelligence. One of the goals of design theory is to understand and model the mechanism of creative design, which can be naturally applied to the implementation of an intelligent design machine. So it is possible to study machine intelligence, which is also the basis for discussing whether machine design is possible. Environment-Based Design theory proposed by Dr. Zeng is such a theory for creative design, which is based the logic of design and the ontology underlying design activities. The proposed research will bring these two works together to shed some light on the philosophical foundation of design intelligence.
