Marie Curie said: Be more curious about ideas. Einstein also said: Imagination can take
us anywhere. Why? Why imagination and ideas are so important? And how can we
engineer the creativity process?
We cure diseases and live longer without suffering with medicine. We fly with the birds
with planes. We swim with the fish with equipment. We travel to the stars with rockets.
We connect in time and space with Internet. Yes, we can. We can play Gods. We evolve
exactly because we can imagine the impossible. We extend our abilities using our ideas
to create artefacts so to expand our abilities. And afterwards our perception fills in the
new world.
In my research, I suggested a new form of intelligence, Chrono-Spatial Intelligence
(CSI), this is time-space intelligence. This is the perception of apparent and hidden
connections so to form an idea and start the creativity process. If you can perceive and
analyse such connections I assume you can engineer them as a series of fortunate events.
This is Serendipity Engineering. We may play Gods.
How can I engineer serendipity in human connections, with the best medium today,
social media? Sometimes in magical situations, the user finds a series of fortunate or
even unfortunate items pushing and pulling towards directions and significant clicks,
developing specific trajectories. These connections are rather underpinning the creativity
matrix. To consciously search for serendipity via a random, surprising and pleasant user
experience, one may need all the methods, tools and data in the world, both on a micro
and massive scale.
To click or not to click, is a bipolar decision making process occurring in the brain that
includes hesitation; this is actually easy to analyse with sentiment analysis. Every word
has subjective shade. Semantics! And is it possible to engineering randomness? Yes,
without overspecialising concept categories. So my current research is on Ideas and
Serendipity Engineering via semantics and sentiment analysis for social media micro-
blogging.
Serendipity Engineering is the machine manipulation of such fortunate series created by
a platform with the help of the user so to connect the nodes. Sentiment analysis is
conducted on the user’s decision making process coded as green, red and grey. Then I
work on the connections using semantics analysis revealing Chrono-Spatial Intelligence
for educational and business purposes.
Imagine the impossible and be curious about ideas and how to apply and add value to the
world. Engineering the Matrix? Yes we can!
