Dear all,
it's with great pleasure that I share with you this piece. I had an inspiring, in-depth conversation with artist and fellow Pd'er Ben Bogart over the last months, and this is the result:

« Rational and creative thought are two extremes of a single process. Rational associations involve activations of few memories in very focused directions, while creative associations involve the activation of many memories in many different directions. »
Oh, so THAT's what creativity means !
Why is it called creative, if one can create new thoughts and new things from rational thought, especially thoughts and things that so-called «creative» thought can't come up with ?
Fortunately, that kind of jargon isn't used in the actual MSc thesis. I mean, the word creative is not used in the same way, especially as the word «rational» doesn't appear at all.

Well, I'm not academic and I'm also rather careful with dualist ideas, however, instead of creative vs rational, which are, least to say, not mutually exclusive, I usually use inductive vs deductive. Maybe that's what you mean too - maybe not...
