磨练理论：创造力的复杂系统框架
Honing Theory: A Complex Systems Framework for Creativity
摘要：
本文提出了一种创造力理论，称为磨练理论，它假定创造力通过自我组织，自我维护和自我复制的思想之间的公共交换来推动文化进化的过程。根据磨练理论，大脑和其他自我组织的系统一样，会修改它们的内容，适应它们的环境，以最小化熵。创造力始于对高心理熵材料的检测，这会引起不确定性，并引起觉醒。创造过程包括从新的背景中递归地考虑这些材料，直到它被充分地重组，唤醒消散。重组涉及神经同步和动态绑定，并且可以通过暂时转移到更具联想性的思维模式来促进。一件创造性的作品可能同样会引起其他作品的重组，从而促进更微妙的世界观的文化演变。由于连接创造性输出的文化血统线可能表现出很小的连续性，因此提出文化进化发生在自组织思维的水平上，输出反映了它们的进化状态。磨练理论解决了其他创造力理论未解决的挑战，例如指导重组的因素，以及创造性作品在什么意义上演变。证据来自实证研究，一个基于代理的计算模型的文化进化，概念组合的模型。
英文摘要：
This paper proposes a theory of creativity, referred to as honing theory, which posits that creativity fuels the process by which culture evolves through communal exchange amongst minds that are self-organizing, self-maintaining, and self-reproducing. According to honing theory, minds, like other selforganizing systems, modify their contents and adapt to their environments to minimize entropy. Creativity begins with detection of high psychological entropy material, which provokes uncertainty and is arousalinducing. The creative process involves recursively considering this material from new contexts until it is sufficiently restructured that arousal dissipates. Restructuring involves neural synchrony and dynamic binding, and may be facilitated by temporarily shifting to a more associative mode of thought. A creative work may similarly induce restructuring in others, and thereby contribute to the cultural evolution of more nuanced worldviews. Since lines of cultural descent connecting creative outputs may exhibit little continuity, it is proposed that cultural evolution occurs at the level of self-organizing minds, outputs reflect their evolutionary state. Honing theory addresses challenges not addressed by other theories of creativity, such as the factors that guide restructuring, and in what sense creative works evolve. Evidence comes from empirical studies, an agent-based computational model of cultural evolution, and a model of concept combination.
