2014 - Summary/Objective
2015 -
201501 - Follow up ref SDS 29 0000, ref SDS 27 0000.
201502 -
201503 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Jack Park commenting on creativity which
201504 - Eric Armstrong discussed in a letter dated 001101, ref DRP 2 0001, and
201505 - received on 001108. ref SDS 29 0001
201506 -
201507 - Eric attributed creativity to persistance, ref SDS 29 6370, and
201508 - creating analogies. ref SDS 29 IL6I
201509 -
201510 - A letter to the team on 001108, ref DIP 3 0001, explained creating
201511 - connections to align information, and, assembling information in
201512 - different contexts, both create different patterns that impart new
201513 - correlations and implications that are "creative," which Doug may have
201514 - in mind in calling for multiple views, most recently on 001027 in the
201515 - OHS Launch Plan. ref SDS 22 D6H8 and ref SDS 22 NW8E
201516 -
201517 - Also, on 001108 a book on English composition cites elements of
201518 - creativity that flow from alphabet technology, enhanced by SDS.
201519 - ref SDS 28 K5WL
201520 -
201521 - Today, Jack says David Gelernter maintains in his book, "The Muse in
201522 - the Machine," that extreme application of logic occurs in a region of
201523 - extreme consciousness. ref DRT 1 RH5N
201524 - ..
201525 - Jack recalls that Gelernter says creativity occurs without logic
201526 - and rules for connecting dots of causation.  Thus, the creative
201527 - process is one in which dots get connected that would otherwise be
201528 - blocked by logical processes. ref DRT 1 007M
201529 -
201530 - Jack advises he can realize new connections when driving along a
201531 - country road, playing the piano, or even describing something to
201532 - someone (during which event, that something acquires new
201533 - embellishments I hadn't noticed before). ref DRT 1 JK7K
201534 -
201535 - Jack concludes that creativity involves breaking rules. ref DRT 1 009O
201536 -
201537 -     An interesting question arises from this perspective is how
201538 -     technology might enhance creativity?  One might say, well a gun
201539 -     is creative because it supports breaking the rules.
201540 -
201541 -     What other technologies can help?
