Original Ideas vs Purely Original Ideas
Many people claim mixing two or more ideas creates an original idea. At the surface level this might be true; however, how do you make a purely original idea? In my belief a purely original idea is simply an idea or concept that when you try to define, explain, or describe it to people, especially higher intellectual individuals, there is nothing to correlate it with. To alternatively iterate, an idea is purely original when you do not have concepts in reality and fantasy to explain or correlate it with. How do you make purely original ideas? This concept could perhaps divide artists, but I have come up with my own method of imagining purely original ideas. In the past I have discussed abstraction. To iterate, I believe through abstraction and the visualization of abstract patterns, shapes, and lines and letting your brain try to interpret and make sense of pattern, shapes, and designs, people can imagine new and original ideas. An example of this is looking at clouds, ceiling-texture patterns, fire, smoke, ocean water, hardwater, or abstract art with a mix of curvy and noncurvy lines, textures, and elements. This can be a method to formulating purely original ideas through abstraction. I found many of my purely original ideas came from lucid dreams. Other ideas that helped me come up with purely original ideas is from daydreaming, resting with a wild imagination, less often listening to music, or simply walking around or pacing as if in a mental-trance-focused-state while letting all ideas and abstractions filter through my mind. Although seemingly absurd, sometimes I feel the universe, higher power, or some sort of force influences or passes-though my thoughts. Perhaps having a consciousness and an intuned-imagination is the root to purely original ideas and concepts. It would be fun to have the idea that through imagination I can tap into some greater conscious, force, or information being funneled, captured, passed-through or given to me from the universe or some interdimensional force or entity. This could be the result of irregular mental processes or a hyper and extremely-refined-through-lifelong-practice imagination. I have many ideas I have written that I do not know how to explain to the average person. When I try to explain them, people look at me as if I am crazy or get confused so I gave up talking to others about these thing and write the ideas or concepts down instead for perhaps later interpretation.
Perhaps a method could be using a backwards approach, such as describing something with an interpretable 'open-container' methods. This means there is no real idea or concept, but instead you simple try to define it as many ways you can. Perhaps removing the process of interpretation can help also and instead you let an idea mold and form without definition. Another method can be starting with an end goal and forming a non-defined path or an expression of nonsense-wordplay on how to get there. These methods would likely exclude very logical thinkers and would be more for artists and designers who are more active in a creative or imagination-using state of mind.
On the subject or entertainment, it would be interesting to see how purely original ideas can help games, movies, art, and creative visual expression and storytelling. I personally see the entertainment world of today as sterilized, unoriginal, and overall uninspiring. I think if people learned or refined ways to be purely original, entertainment and creative content could be taken to new levels leading to improved culture, visions, and purpose.
In the reality of AI, I see a lot of what AI does is taken from existing concepts. AI can build new concepts by only taking what already exists. I do not believe AI can create purely original ideas; however, it may come close.
Id like to think there could be a process that can be created for the sake of brainstorming purely original ideas and concepts; perhaps a way to tap into this realm of thought. If methods arise, perhaps it can unleash a new renaissance of visions, ideas, and inventions.
