Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, the authors integrate several concepts into their theory and discuss how the various mechanisms come together in an overarching theory for how ideas develop. They simplify the discussion by identifying five key components: perspectives, aspects, consolidation and realizability, contextual sensitivity, and recursiveness. Together these components help explain how new ideas are innovated and what influences the course of their development into becoming more broadly accepted. They suggest how their theory suggests two distinct types of creativity: praxis creativity and theoretical creativity.
