	Zero Point Crystalinks
		'Novelty Theory' is an idea conceived of and discussed at length by Terence McKenna from the late 1960s until his death in the year 2000.
		McKenna interpreted the fractal nature and resonances of the wave, as well as his theory of the I Ching's artificial arrangement, to show that the events of any given time are recursively related to the events of other times.
		As McKenna never had the theory published in a peer-reviewed journal and his sources and reasoning were primarily what would be considered numerological rather than mathematical by professional mathematicians and scientists, the theory has failed to gain any scientific credulity or much recognition.

		They were amazingly advanced, and many of their astronomical theories are beyond proof simply because we do not have the proper technology to see if they are correct.
		This theory was basically a graph of life, a graph that charted every "novelty" in the history of the world, approximatley, and mckenna noticed that the space of time between novelties was decreasing in a fractal manner.
		Novelty theory fits in perfect with couple ancient mathematical understandings: The I Ching and the golden spiral (fibannaci sequence).

		Novelty, in this context, can be thought of as newness, density of complexification, and dynamic change as opposed to static habituation.
		The theory was never published in a peer-reviewed journal and McKenna's sources and reasoning were primarily what would be considered numerological rather than mathematical by professional mathematicians and scientists, the theory has failed to gain any (scientific) credibility or much recognition.
		The theory was, however, revised by nuclear physicist John Sheliak after a flaw was discovered by Matthew Watkins.

		Novelty Theory predicts the ebb and flow of novelty in the universe as an inherent quality of time.
		McKenna developed the theory in the mid-1970s after his experiences in the Amazon at La Chorrera led him to closely study the King Wen sequence of the I-Ching.
		McKenna admitted to the expectation of a "singularity of novelty", and that he and his colleagues projected many hundreds of years into the future to find when this singularity (runaway "newness" or extropy) could occur.

	A Theory of Fun for Game Design OFFICIAL WEBSITE
		Discussing novelty versus patterns versus puzzles versus learning is tricky without delving into the cognitive science that I spend the first couple of chapters on in the book (trust me, it's not very dry despite being science!).
		Koster clearly wants to reach a point where games are recognized as a form of artistic expression, and he is trying to articulate a worthwhile conceptual framework to explore what games really mean, both to us as individuals and to society as a whole.
		I am going to try to keep this blog updated semi-regularly with status of the book, emails or reviews or whatever that get written about it, and maybe that way those who are interested can follow the progress of the book from final edits through to when they get it in their hands.

	Towards a synthesis of Discourse Ethics and Internet regulation
		Having established the relevance of Habermas's work to this area we move from the theory to practice and, in the context of regulation, assess the benefits of the framework in a practical application.
		Habermas's theory of communicative action is itself based upon his early historical work analysing the 'public sphere', that is various forms of discussion and debate that grew up in early capitalist society during the eighteenth century.
		At the centre of Habermas's mature theory is his key notion of communicative action (1981) whose essential goal is to attempt to reach agreement or mutual understanding rather than achieve a manipulated dominance of belief.

	The Plausibility of Life
		To understand novelty in evolution, we need to understand organisms down to their individual building blocks, down to the workings of their deepest components, for these are what undergo change.
		A theory of novelty was impossible to devise until the end of the twentieth century; experimental evidence was incomplete on how the organism uses its cellular and molecular mechanisms to build the organism from the egg and to integrate the genetic information into functional processes.
		Ignorance about novelty is at the heart of skepticism about evolution, and resolving its origins is necessary to complete our understanding of Darwin’s theory.

		It is a theory based upon the numerology of the I Ching, Mayan astronomy and the folk axiom that history repeats itself.
		Basically, the idea of Novelty Theory is that "novelty" in the universe is an aspect of time, and can be therefore predicted through numerology.
		According to the Novelty Theory, a "timewave" can be predicted and graphed, indicating when novelty is at low or high levels.

		Novelty Theory suggests that on December 21 of 2012 AD, at the coincidence of the moment of the solstice and the heliacal rising of the galactic center, levels of planetary novelty will exponentially increase.
		Novelty Theory can now mature into a genuine intellectual discipline in which we can hope to see the contributions made by many people exploring the field.
		Analysts concurred that the immediate challege for Novelty Theory enthusiasts would be the smooth and rapid dissemination of the new version of the Timewave and the replacement of key files in the widely distributed Timewave Zero software so that it will generate the new corrected values.

		This theory, and indeed the mathematical theory of dynamic systems generally does this by securing in a formal manner the process by which transformation can naturally arise and persist out of a background of flux.
		The theory is not deterministic; it does not say what will happen in the future, only the levels of novelty that whatever happens will have to fulfill.
		The theory of time that is implied by the Timewave is a theory of time as a fractal, or self-similar, wave.

		The express contract theory aids the idea person, who may not have a way to launch the idea into practice, by giving him or her the means to communicate the idea to someone who can mature and market it.
		The confidential relationship theory is one that is used by courts not only in traditional confidential relationship situations, but the theory is often established on one of the contract theories of protection.
		For example, under an express contract theory, most courts do not require the idea to be novel if the terms of the contract do not so require, because the parties are specifically bound by the terms of the contract.

	From Above and Below: Problems with Boden's Model of Human Creativity
		Though Boden is always careful to phrase her theory in computational terminology, the model she presents is subject to combinatorial explosion as it stands, and is confounded by an over general definition of conceptual space upon which the rest of her theory is based.
		If her theory fails at the grander task of explaining human creativity, it has at least demonstrated that a computational model of creativity is not an impossible notion, and that creativity can be subjected to the same rigorous analysis as other cognitive traits with which psychology has concerned itself for decades.
		A notable but essentially sole exception to this seems to be the Gestalt theorists, who were concerned from their beginnings with questions of creativity and insight, but who failed to provide a strong testable theory.

		If the wave model is a valid general theory of time, it should be possible to show why certain periods or places have been particularly rich in events that accelerate the creative advance into novelty, and also to show where and when in the future such events might be expected to recur.
		The career of novelty is revealed to be a process that is punctuated by subprocesses.
		What this advance of novelty is, and what the process of becoming may be seen to be in essence, is the revelation of the interspecies' mind.

		Watkins is confident that he has condensed the theory of the timewave into a formula (given below) and is further convinced that there is no rational basis for assuming that the timewave represents the fluctuation of any quantity which can be meaningfully understood as "novelty".
		It briefly mentioned that he had developed a theory which involved mathematically modelling the historical ingression of "novelty" using a fractal generated from the King Wen sequence of I Ching hexagrams.
		He claimed (and this struck me as sincere) that he was only interested in the truth, and that someone "disproving" the theory was just as a much of a relief to him as someone confirming its validity.

		New theory is taught in tandem with its application to a concrete range of phenomena.
		The emergence of a new theory is generated by the persistent failure of the puzzles of normal science to be solved as they should.

		There isn't smurfily any reason for the article itself to be critical of novelty theory, as encyclopedias aren't smurfily here to make claims about what is smurfily and isn't smurfily objective fact.
		Recently, a friend of mine mentioned the novelty theory and I wanted to know if somebody could tell me what the description of his hyperdimensional space was smurfily like.
		So, while the message and the messenger aren't smurfily one and the same, the fact that this is smurfily being described as a scientific theory looses some of its luster when we remember whose theory it is, and what else he theorized on.

		Defenders of the theory insist that there is no scientific controversy over it, and people who question or criticize it are typically accused of being ignorant or religiously motivated.
		To overcome the weakness in existing evolutionary theory, Kirschner and Gerhart propose what they call "a major new scientific theory: facilitated variation." The authors note that organisms consist of "core processes" that have apparently been "conserved" since their evolution from a common ancestor.
		What had been the strongest evidence for the theory turns out to be false, but the theory is taken to be true anyway and the anomalous evidence is explained away.
