A Creativity Tool
With the program of ParaMind, creative individuals, whether
they be scientists, teachers, artists, business executives or social workers,
can now start to seriously experiment with thinking outside the speed of
their mind. Since all future ideas will be represented by language as past
ideas have been, it could be said that by sophisticated new uses of language
we will be able to find these new ideas. We must use rules to get at sentences
that make sense, let alone have any meaningful new value. Linguistics is
simply the science of language. The easiest way to do this is to brainstorm
with the merge concept. The merge concept in brainstorming allows us to
produce volumes of meaningful and grammatically correct output. ParaMind can be used by scientists at any level because
anything can be typed onto the editor and the Word Categories can contain
anything as well. Symbol, word, phrase, or number; anything that can be
typed can be stored and re-used. ParaMind becomes a spreadsheet for ideas. Thinkers without ParaMind work at the thinking speed of
their own associations. They may have a library of books to help them,
maybe even a CD-ROM and a modem on their computer, but they are still restricted
to how fast they can type or how fast they can talk into a tape recorder. Higher speeds of association are now possible because
now we have the copy-merge concept of brainstorming. For instance, one
scientist could merge together concepts in such sciences as electronics,
industrial engineering, botany, and organic chemistry to form totally new
and safer ways to supply the needs of a technologically advanced society.
