Creative Emergence, Order, and Chaos

The Big Bang of Originality and Effectiveness: A Dynamic Creativity Framework and Its Application to Scientific Missions

“…Indeed, our universe is a dissipative open system, the equilibrium of which was dramatically disturbed by the first impulse, the Big Bang, a gigantic surge of energy, the consequences of which are still evolving after some 13.7 billion years, in the course of which nearly 2 trillion galaxies were formed ( Conselice et al, 2016 ), each with billions of stars, and each star potentially surrounded by planets. Note that creativity in nonlinear, dynamic, complex systems is an active research domain of its own ( Ambrose, 2014 ; Loreto et al, 2016 ; Gabora, 2017 ). The initial conclusion to this discussion is the following, perhaps surprising, statement: the origin of the DUCP is the Big Bang , after which an indefinite concatenation of creativity episodes emerged at the material layer, at the biological layer, and at the sociocultural layer of complexity.…”

Interdisciplinary Insights That Reveal Contextual Influences on the Development of Giftedness and Talent

“…The minds of those who are trapped at this end of the continuum tend to produce any blend of narrowminded, shortsighted, superficial, rigid thinking. In contrast, those who suffer from schizophrenia can find themselves trapped in the excessive chaos end because their thought processes are too fragmented, disordered, and unpredictable [71]. Fortunately, those who can avoid entrapment at either end of the continuum can frequently find themselves in the zone of complexity in the center of the continuum, where a dynamic tension between chaos and order helps them create highly complex thoughts and actions.…”
