>>12760863I don’t know about the concept of “truly original” as everything without exception is dependently originated. Nothing whatsoever inherently exists including a “truly original” widget.
However, creativity as a process is generally the product of juxtapositions and combinations, constraints and problems.
New combinations or juxtapositions (or substitutions) and their results or byproducts or artefacts are conceivably infinite. Same with new problems and constraints (or the removal of a prior constraint).
