How creation works



  Fyodor Dostoyevsky noted in one of his novels, people are generally defined in two categories, one is the people who are good at ordinary work, the other is who are proficient in generating/creating/innovating something.
  Of course, each feature has degrees and parameters and the tendency of single person's character is defined as product of these two. Tbh, it is sometimes hard for me to put so much information provided via the verbal communication into my cranium, rather, I prefer document as catalyst to transfer info.
  Creativity is a feature hard to evaluate its quantity, even quality. However, the mechanism of creativity could be described to some extent.
   Creativity, as well as Ordinal Output is analogous to and part of the system of biology, that is, it contains "rationality" in nature. It is normally corresponding to the environment. It is a solution. Creativity is uniqueness. Race is one good example of creativity, which is a collection of necessity and attitude to the external world/needs. Race itself is deducted into a bundle of features. Male in general have to be bigger than female because male has to face with the external violence directly. Spicy food is part of creativity for they had to preserve it from serious deterioration.
  Therefore creativity is part of our DNA, creativity is sort of extension to meet the demands in the severe animal world and complicated human societies, so it is not whimsical in general, but necessary. We, human race has been survived through the attitude named as "diversity", some selected and some survived. Art is sometimes able to be regarded as byproduct or, main function to drive another part of human activity into evolution.

  Creation has following process:
1) Inputs
2) Idea enhancement
3) Expression of idea
4) Self-Consumption  & Criticizing/Evaluation
5) Modification of the expression
6) Repetition of the 4) - 5)
7) Launching

If team is involved, the discussion phase would be added to above.

Creativity has goals. It is simply rephrased as a <key-value> pairs of issue-and-solution. We have issue, then create, to solve.


The creativity is evaluated as follows:

1) How many people consume your expression?
2) How much you can earn by it?
3) How far the product affects society? (Politics, Culture, Religion, Public Mood, etc...)

 My point is creativity could be evaluated in quantity. For it is one aspect of human/animal nature, it is closely related with social evolution and selection, therefore has great impact on our society. Please be nice to be creators! (This is the message to Japanese society....)
