ABSTRACT
Simulations using a computer model the Evolution Of Culture (EVOC) indicate that the clustering of creative agents decreases the mean fitness of ideas in the short term (when imitators have not yet been exposed to them) but increases idea fitness in the long term (presumably because agents swap partial solutions). With the steep fitness function used here, clustering decreases idea diversity.

Creative Computing for Bespoke Ideation
COMPSAC '15: Proceedings of the 2015 IEEE 39th Annual Computer Software and Applications Conference - Volume 01Today, idea generation is an extremely important activity for both academic researchers and industrial groups. A considerable number of applications and research studies have been made in the past years in order to increase the effectiveness of idea ...
Linguistic Readymades and Creative Reuse
Creativity often arises from a process of appropriation, in which something is wrenched from its normative context of use and given new meaning in a new setting. In this vein, Marcel Duchamp popularized the notion of an artistic ready-made when his ...
