Creativity Is a Byproduct of Exploration

True creativity is a combination of functionality and originality, with experts showcasing higher levels as they tend to be more functional than novices. Both novices and experts exhibit the same amount of original actions, but experts are more original and fluent. Proficiency in exploring and trying new ideas is equal among novices and experts, debunking the belief that extensive training is necessary for originality. The development of new techniques relies on manipulating constraints rather than internal knowledge, emphasizing the importance of creating an environment that encourages exploration for anyone to be creative. Creativity is not a sudden revelation but a result of adapting to constraints, being flexible, and generating innovative solutions. This underlines the idea that creativity emerges from diversity and adaptation to environmental challenges.
