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. ___ | Mathieu Bouchard tél: +1.514.383.3801 Villeray, Montréal, QC___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

Maybe that's what you mean too - maybe not... Andras ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
