	INVENTION, (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The process of invention is invariably preceded by one or more discoveries; a discovery may be accidental, such as a child’s discovery that fire burns, or induced, such as the discovery that helium is the lightest of the inert gases and, therefore, best suited for use in inflating airships.
		The period of recorded history began with the invention of writing, and writing as a means of mass communication became important with the invention of movable type in the 15th century.
		Invention proceeded steadily throughout the period of written history, but since the advent of printed books people all over the world have been able to obtain records of the discoveries of the past for use as a basis for further discoveries and inventions.

		An invention may sometimes be based on earlier breakthroughs, collaborations or ideas, and the process of invention requires at least the awareness that an existing concept or method can be modified or transformed into a new invention.
		The history of invention is full of such castles, as inventions are not necessarily invented in the order that is most useful; for example, the design of the parachute was worked out before the invention of powered flight.
		Inventions are one of the chief examples of "positive externalities" (an economist's name for a beneficial side-effect that falls on those outside a transaction or activity).

	About the Invention Process
		In some cases it is necessary to for an inventor to be able to prove they were working on their invention in a diligent fashion.
		The invention notebook should be like a diary of what you did and tried and when and how it went and what you are thinking about doing and trying and why.
		In an invention notebook one expects to see wear and tear, the use of different pens and pencils, detailed notes, etc. If you have something that is legitimate it should be fairly obvious, particularly if people can testify that you write everything down in your invention notebook.

	Lesson 3 for "Form & Analysis"
		Although "invention" had been applied to short imitative works before him, the genre is strongly associated with Johann Sebastian Bach.
		While Bach's Inventions are usually scrutinized for the presence of motives, countermotives, expositions, developments, sequences (FORMAL things in a FORMAL order), I wish to focus upon PROCEDURES he used to reposition such objects or re articulate them as new objects.
		It is in these procedures we feel Bach's "heartbeat" when it comes to his second purpose for writing inventions: so that the student may learn "not only to compose good inventions, but to develop them well...and to acquire a taste for the elements of composition." Next...
