Summary
This document explores the concept of creativity, contrasting human drive with computer logic, and details the "Conventional View" that creativity arises from chaotic pattern-matching and selection processes in the brain. It highlights the work of Douglas Hofstadter, who uses computer programs to demonstrate that the human brain may function as a scaled-up pattern-matching system.
