What is Creativity?
summary
Defines creativity as a product that is novel, surprising, valuable and distinguishes P‑creativity (personal firsts) from H‑creativity (historical firsts); classifies surprise as combinational, exploratory, transformational; applies a selectionist process—blind variation, selection and retention—to idea generation and cites experiments that reinforce variation; uses art + AI (Stable Diffusion example) to ask whether generative systems can produce valuable creative outputs and recommends measuring novelty, value and selection criteria in teams and workflows.
