It requires that people and their ideas are treated without criticism

Step out of the dichotomy of right/wrong and assume a kind of neutral position. Use [mu], which means 'no thing' or 'not yes-not no'. Such a mind-set helps us to step outside the situation and consider other perspectives. Mostly new ways are found by coincidence, accident or faults. In creactivation we are consciously looking differently and accidents or faults are regarded with special interest and often consciously created.

Sei: Cleanliness and orderliness in both the physical and spiritual sense. Even the most mundane acts carry the seeds of enlightenment.Total attention for the task at hand purifies both heart and mind.

Prototyping doesn’t just solve straightforward problems. Call it serendipity or even luck, but once you start drawing or making things, you open up new possibilities of discovery. It’s the same method that’s helped scientists unlock some of the greatest secrets of nature.
