Well done!
Of course, it's a little too coarse. I suspect there are large effectors and small effectors. A creative use of an effector can result in a very large perturbation, if you use a large effector.
I think there's plenty of room for controlled creativity in the sense that at some times, in some regions, under some conditions, and for some people, most of the creative perturbations are from small effectors. That's probably the type of creativity The Man likes. In hindsight, of course, when the creative force is marginalized, The Man will claim to have liked the creatives that employ large effectors. But while the effect is in action, The Man either tries to clamp down or runs away crying in fear.

Whenever I hear the Human Resources managers talk about creativity I just cringe and wince. These people have done everything humanly possible to create conformity for decades and now a new Fad has emerged. Mediocrity struggles to distinguish itself from previous mediocrity by indulging in trends and fashions. Creativity is an outlaw phenomenon and always will be. However managing creativity is very popular and very rewarding with lots of job security. Creativity is antisocial . Creative people are social misfits and they have the perversity to defy the peer group and the ruthlessness to acquire the resources. Society itself is anti creative at every level. Sadly war brings out the truly creative like nothing else. We just don’t like what it looks like when we see it. I am going to try and find my old bootleg copies of The Clash and reflect on the old days when creativity would get you into serious rocking trouble.
