Abstract: Abstract Chapters in the Conclusions Suite overview the evolving argument of the book, represented in the previous ‘Movements’ of the argument’s Symphonic form. Central to the very concept of the Void is creativity. The core dynamic of the universe is creation of the new, destruction of the old to be replaced by new creation. Chapter 29 brings together the arguments of the book’s Third Movement which builds on the previous Movements to explore creativity. As it argues, emotion is central to creation, immediately taking the reader from spirituality and the cosmos to the inner world of the person. Further on creativity, a central quest of the book is to identify the optimal social and economic system for producing a fabric of a creative economy. This goes way beyond just creative activities such as painting and dance, presented in separate domains and to separate audiences. Instead, a creative fabric implies building creativity into everything from education to urban and organizational design. Even at the center now of institutionalized creative activity, scientific research, ‘openness’ and therefore ‘trust’ work, not closed boundaries. Again, back to the power of emotion and intersubjective understanding—the source of ‘community’ as demonstrated earlier. The same applies in organization design of ‘open systems’. Here lies a fundamental premise of escape from the limiting controls of neo-classical economics, our path to a survivable future.
