<p><br>It is perhaps not so baffling that we have the ability to develop,
refine, and manifest a creative idea, once it has been conceived. But what
sort of a system could spawn the initial seed of creativity from which
an idea grows? This paper looks at how the mind is structured in such a
way that we can experience a glimmer of insight or inkling of artistic
inspiration.</p>
