Here three main threads that could be considered: (1) The holistic approaches of Gestalt, field, event‐structure, and ecological perceptual‐action theories, (2) the cybernetic‐neural‐behavioral‐general systems approaches, and (3) the dynamical thread. This essay considers the first thread. Section A2 contains a miniscule first attempt at a hypothetico‐deductive dynamical formalization of Lewin which Loye once requested of me.

The experimental research for construction of functional relations between objective parameters of fractals' complexity (fractal dimension and Lyapunov exponent) and subjective perception of their complexity was conducted. As stimulus material we used the program based on Sprott's algorithms for the generation of fractals and the calculation of their mathematical characteristics. For the research 20 fractals were selected which had different fractal dimensions that varied from 0.52 to 2.36, and the Lyapunov exponent from 0.01 to 0.22. We conducted two experiments: (1) A total of 20 fractals were shown to 93 participants. The fractals were displayed on the screen of a computer for randomly chosen time intervals ranging from 5 to 20 s. For each fractal displayed, the participant responded with a rating of the complexity and attractiveness of the fractal using ten-point scale with an estimate of the duration of the presentation of the stimulus. Each participant also answered the questions of some personality tests (Cattell and others). The main purpose of this experiment was the analysis of the correlation between personal characteristics and subjective perception of complexity, attractiveness, and duration of…

Almost all aspects of human affairs involve systems that are complex and dynamical with respect to the many components of which they are comprised, the nature by which those factors interact, and the patterns of behaviors that result. These systems are continually creating, changing, evolving, and self-organizing, and they are intentional. This chapter contends that better understanding of the nature of these systems, and how the patterns of their behavior change over time, is tremendously improved by employing visual representations provided by both nonlinear dynamical systems theories (DST) and analyses, and nonlinear dynamical network theories (DNT). Garden-variety DST here implies continuous variables, while garden variety DNT involves discrete, categorical agents. There is a lot of cross-fertilization between these gardens! While both are dynamical, they each emphasize different stylistic, statistical, and visualizing methods. There are many other methods that contribute to understanding systems, but these are great at visualization. The chapter also emphasizes that dynamical methods are particularly suited to characterize the integration of many factors within and between scales of observation. The ranges of these scales can vary and are frequently triaged into subranges, such as micro-, meso-, and macroscopic, depending on the various factors of the system under investigation.

It surveys a few definitions of creativity. Then proceeds to literary, mythic, and existential examples. Next it wanders through some psychological approaches. And finally it point to some general principles of nonlinear dynamical theory that seem relevant to understanding creativity. This is done rather metaphorically, without the explicit mathematics upon which these concepts are based.
