Some ways new ideas form:
1. Noticing hundreds, thousands, of details and how they fit together into a larger whole.
- Example: When someone is so deep into an industry they understand every role, action, problem, and solution, and the shortcomings, and use that information to spot out the most important problems and tie them together into a new business idea.
2. Having an intuition of how something should be, and digging out that intuition through the act of creation.
- Example: Artwork that is trying fully express the most ideal form of beauty, nature, violence, grandness, etc.
3. Noticing "bugs" / paradoxes in real life - things that don't make sense - and having the curiosity to debug it.
- Example: Einstein realizing a paradox - "If I pursue a beam of light with the velocity c (velocity of light in a vacuum), I should observe such a beam of light as an electromagnetic field at rest though spatially oscillating."
