Creative Confluence.

Creative Confluence is a highly original work, building bridges between physics, biology, technology, economy, organizations, neuropsychology, literature, arts, and cultural history. It is an attempt to explain the process of creativity as a universal principle of nature, cutting through the composition of atoms as well as human design of novel combinations. Creative Confluence is yet another impressive book and a sequel to Epistemics of the Virtual , indicating that perception and imagination operate in close contact. In a clear and light tone, the work holds that rational problem-solving strategies are most relevant in deterministic problem spaces whereas creativity is pertinent in more probabilistic situations. Theories of creativity and innovation are explored by means of computer simulations. Conditionals that favor creativity such as diversity, tolerance, and openness are discussed, forwarding a compelling vision of creative leadership. The ACASIA process accounted for the way combinatory creativity unfolds and the ensuing Creative Sigmoid explained the accumulation of creations, both being nourished or impeded by a host of factors, most importantly, having access to the largest possible diversity in the information universe. How much of that information universe is available to the creator or audience is a matter of openness of perception and the level of tolerance to deviation. The current chapter discusses the relation between perception and creation: After all, all creators start out as creators of fiction because, previo Building bridges between physics, biology, technology, economy, organizations, neuro psychology, literature, arts, and cultural history, this book attempts to explain the process of creativity as a universal principle of nature, cutting through the composition of atoms as well as human design of novel combinations.
