Thank you Jerry! The original purpose of my post was to let people
know about this paper and to encourage their response.
Please note that in this short paper and in the paper "The Theory of
Design Thinking" also on the homepage, design thinking is defined as a
form of purposeful thinking that has the particular objectives found
in its definition there. Design thinking may use is not creative until
it produces an outcome that is novel, of high value, and significant
in the domain of expertise addressed by the designer's intentions.
(See "Imagination and Creativity in Design Thinking" accessed on the
homepage.) There are thus three levels of focused definition involved
if you're up for it.
I'd appreciate your thoughts, especially if they actually address my
paper(s). If anyone is having trouble finding it (them), the url for
my homepage is:

Best to all,
Chuck
