IDyOT: A Computational Theory of Creativity as Everyday Reasoning from Learned Information
Geraínt A. Wiggins, Jamie Forth · Atlantis thinking machines · 2014
We present progress towards a computational cognitive architecture, IDyOT (Information Dynamics of Thinking) that is intended to account for certain aspects of human creativity and other forms of cognitive processing in terms of a pre-conscious predictive loop. The theory is motivated in terms of the evolutionary pressure to be efficient. It makes several predictions that may be tested by building computational implementations and studying their behaviour.
