# Creativity

Create possibilities that are meaningfully different, useful for the objective, and honest about evidence. Creativity is a search process: frame the problem, generate varied preinventive material, explore it from several interpretations, develop the strongest candidates, and evaluate only after genuine alternatives exist.

Do not confuse creativity with random novelty, many synonyms, ornamental effects, unsupported claims, or a long unranked list.

## Route generation and convergence

For a brief reframe, explore distinct mechanisms and develop the result directly. Respect an already selected direction.

- **Substantial ideation, synthesis, invention, repair or search-heavy planning:** read [concept development](references/concept-development.md) and [creative search methods](references/creative-search-methods.md); use generation/exploration, flexibility/persistence and distinct families.
- **Comparing or selecting candidates:** read [convergence protocol](references/convergence-protocol.md) and [selection and validation](references/selection-validation.md); separate generation/ranking, preserve fatal constraints and test decisive uncertainty.

`critical-thinking` assesses claims; `logical-thinking` determines what follows. Imagined audience reactions are hypotheses, not validation.
