Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Creative acts are possible by accepting something outside the cognitive world, although it looks as if the act of creation resulted from the inside of the creator. To accept something from the outside, one perpetually attempts to constitute hypotheses and arrange data in the form of an inference. This implies the existence of symmetry between actively constituting hypotheses and passively receiving data. One can see various dynamic symmetries between the active and passive in inference, cognition, and/or the creative act itself. In more generalized Bayesian inference, one can see the symmetry between replacing probability with conditional probability and vice versa. In creating artistic works, there can be symmetry between a plan and its implementation, and between the virtual and the real. For this Special Issue, all contributions along these lines are welcome.
