Three Cs revisited—Chaos, complexity, and creativity: where nonlinear dynamics offers new perspectives on everyday creativity
Abstract
Five frames for experience are explored: dynamic, balanced, sudden, interdependent, emergent, moving beyond a reductionist view to consider examples honoring a nonlinear chaos and complexity context. This interfaces with aware, present, healthy, open and creative ways of being in the world, separately and together. Discussion looks at a potential shift in worldview and view of self-in-world.
