Creativity

Creativity - The ability to organize the total environment--physical, biological and psychosocial--into new patterns which increase truth for at least one person, while not decreasing truth for any person. Creativity is a direct function of intelligence and ethics:

where:

C =Creativity in quanta of new knowledge generated per unit time. It ranges from infinity to negative infinity.

I =Intelligence in quanta of old knowledge controlled per unit time. It ranges from zero to infinity.

E =Ethics, a dimensionless quantity between -1 and +1 representing the fraction of our total energy spent decreasing truth (negative) or increasing truth (positive).

This equation is an approximation.
