In the nearly hundred years of investigation since Wallas proposed this theorem, we have not moved much further forward in understanding creativity. Alan Turing described his thoughts on the science behind creativity in a short piece he wrote about decision making: “When making a decision of minor importance

This was a puzzle that had been, in a sense, anticipated at the very dawn of the digital revolution by the mathematician Alan Turing in a 1950 paper called “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” that he published in the British journal Mind. “Can machines think?” Turing began.?5” H
