If we want to understand chemistry we should study chemistry at the level of chemistry, not study lower-level physics simply because chemistry is in theory explained by physics. We need to pick the right level of abstraction.
Creativity will be explainable in terms of composition and randomness in the same way that chemistry is explainable in terms of physics. Yes, these are the building blocks, but the building blocks by itself don't help you much because the complicated phenomena still hasn't been explained. All of the magic is in how the building blocks come together to produce the output.
- corethree 3y agoYou're right. But you will note that the point of my response had one objective to prove this statement: "All innovation is composition plus random generation." The poster asked for "evidence" behind this statement and I explained to him why what I said is true. There's still "magic" involved with human intelligence but it still has basis in reality and I can use that basis to prove certain statements. That's all I was doing.
