Assuming a deterministic world, what is the cause of new ideas. Are they merely a reflection of an image of the real world that impinges on the neural networks of the brain?
Does Our unique neural structures that expresses itself as a unique perspective would process this image according to its peculiarities and output it as a new idea?
A question to ponder here is the nature of the system at play that makes the unique structures that does the processing. Is the structure an accurate reflection of the real world by evolutionary heuristics? Some say it accurate only in as much as it aids in survival. Either way, we are dealing with independent dual concurrent systems: that of the more individualistic heuristic neural processing system and a wider cultural and physical system that acts as receptacle of the processed output of the former. One thing to note here is that both systems are observable at the individual level. That is to say that the DNA is the only medium on which the algorithms for both systems are stored.
The dual system acts as a check and balance on each other.
