Divergent Thinking is a generative process used by some of the most creative people in history.
In 1992, Finke et al. proposed the "Geneplore" model, in which creativity takes place in two phases: a generative phase, where an individual constructs mental representations called preinventive structures, and an exploratory phase where those structures are used to come up with creative ideas.
This blog focuses on generating ideas without much exploration or elaboration.
