What is an IDEA? What is the model of an Idea?

What is an Idea? It is a thought.
Is every Thought an Idea? No!
~ what is the structure of an idea! and how do we pick it from our mind!!

Ideas need to be expressed so that they move ahead (live), else they go off or remain dormant. While expressing, the mind needs to give a structure or form to the idea ~ whenever we get into structure we get into the realm of information. Information is needed for structure.

About structure of thoughts - even if they are structureless - thoughts continue ~ many times the very act to giving structure to thought destroys the thought - sort of uncertainty principle (quantum mechanics).

Thought can be structureless and can be structured - similarly since ideas are thoughts they can be structureless or can be structured. The act of giving structure leads to expression of ideas and extension of idea-life!

I offer imperfection, dreams, unexplored domains, uncharted waters, & much non-sense - because in making sense is our only chance to create

STEMIC TCP Model

Space and Time Make up the Physics of the Seen (SpaceTime the physics of the very tiny and very large).
The systems thinkers have talked about Matter, Energy and Information.

So if we look at the basic building block of universe we have Space, Time (Spacetime), Matter, Energy and Information.

It is information that organizes matter and energy in Spacetime. The STEMI can organize on its own based on principle of maximum entropy or can be orchestrated by Thought and Consciousness (The Mind of the "Matter" - the artificial).

The ability to reorganize matter and energy in spacetime using information is the ability of the Man. This requires Thought and Consciousness.

Finally The ability to create these changes in matter and energy to organize into structures, I call, the power.

When we talk about System - from fundamental principles point of view - set of elements (matter organized in spacetime) working together (exchanging energy and information) to achieve an objective or perform a function (Create Change - in Matter, Energy and Information in Spacetime).

When the system is achieved by thought and consciousness we make systems artificial. The ability to create and control change is power.

I call this the STEMIC TCP Model.

Innovation in 3 words - Tag Cloud

Recently I asked a Question on Linkedin group - CoCrafting Innovation. The question was to describe Innovation in 3 words. Of the 17 responses that I got so far - I just made a tag cloud - the results are below.

The current definition of Innovation as per following cloud " Creating Ideas and Inventions that leads to something useful and/or has Value"
