Here am I again!
Creative thinking is, in some points of view, a way of climbing the steps of a better level of awareness.
Edward de Bono 
is regarded as the leading authority in the world in the field of creative thinking. This author, in his remarkable book “
Six Thinking Hats”
introduces us to a concept he calls Provocative operation. A kind of operator that allows us to break the logic of un idea, opening the field to a complete new system of rules and permitting new ideas, as if we were in another level of perception. This is an exercise under “the emergence phenomenon” I evoked in Transdisciplinarity and levels of awareness when I stated that “ emergence leads to new levels of reality and awareness”
I leave you with a definition of emergence given by Professor Yaneer Bar-Yam:
Emergence is...
- ...what parts of a system do together that they would not do by themselves: collective behavior.
- ...what a system does by virtue of its relationship to its environment that it would not do by itself: e.g. its function.
- ...the act or process of becoming an emergent system
You can go on reading a little more about that, trough the article Concepts in Complex Systems.
Finally, let’s end this post, exploring emergence.
