Those two momos represent a morphogenic view with respect to what we refer to as 'destruction' and 'construction' respectively.
So far, most ideas are hylomorphic in that the idea guides or dictates the form. The morphogenic on the other hand understands that the idea guides and is guided by the form in a living and largely unconscious interrelation.
Creation and evolutionary theories are mostly hylomorphic. Morphogenic theories are chaotic and organic. And ideas like 'emergence' are critical.
The hylomorphic and the morphogenic are two ways of reading the city or urban settlement. Hylomorphism uses linear programming and morphogenesis is more of quantum programming.
Let's take waste management as an example: in a hylomorphic world policy may be more about ensuring rules are followed through coercion. A morphogenic world would have policy focused on encouraging a set of behaviors that would make it more probable that people sort and dispose their waste appropriately and facilitate further processing.
