44. Blueprint 36: Concept Blending
by scrafiBlueprint 36: Concept Blending
Purpose and Mechanics
The Concept Blending Blueprint provides a structured approach to generating novel ideas by combining elements from seemingly unrelated concepts or domains. This blueprint enables systematic exploration of creative connections between different ideas, facilitating innovation and problem-solving through the fusion of diverse perspectives. It is particularly useful for creative ideation, innovation development, product design, and marketing concept generation.
This blueprint’s effectiveness comes from its ability to create novel combinations that transcend conventional thinking. By requiring systematic identification and blending of concept elements, it guides the AI to produce creative solutions that leverage the strengths of multiple domains while generating entirely new approaches.
Theoretical Underpinnings
The Concept Blending Blueprint is based on conceptual blending theory and creativity research. It addresses the human tendency to think within domain boundaries and miss opportunities for cross-pollination of ideas. The blueprint also leverages the AI’s ability to identify structural similarities between concepts and create meaningful connections.
