[EXAMPLE]

1. ] Presumably, the process of creativity, whatever it is, is essentially the same in all its branches and varieties, so that the evolution of a new art form, a new gadget, a new scientific principle, all involve common factors. We are most interested in the “creation” of a new scientific principle or a new application of an old one, but we can be general here.
1. ] One way of investigating the problem is to consider the great ideas of the past and see just how they were generated. Unfortunately, the method of generation is never clear even to the “generators” themselves.
2. ] But what if the same earth-shaking idea occurred to two men, simultaneously and independently?
1. ] Perhaps, the common factors involved would be illuminating.
