Spaces Theory

Conceptual Spaces

Creativity is a matter of mapping and exploring structured conceptual spaces that have various dimensions, limits, pathways, and levels

Creative ideas emerge through in-depth exploration of an existing conceptual space

Deeply creative ideas transform and sometimes profoundly alter conceptual spaces. Exploration through complex spaces requires a great deal of effort

Example: Body grammar - a computer program producing varieties of line drawing. In behavioral, humans play with beach balls.
