Creativity

The ability to generate new explanations.

Creativity is the defining attribute of Personhood and universal explainers. It is the source of all conjectures, all Knowledge, and all Progress. Creativity cannot be reduced to computation, randomness, or any known algorithm — it remains one of the deepest unsolved problems in philosophy.
