ParaMind Brainstorming Program. A great way to brainstorm ideas on almost any topic.

Come Up With Every Idea

Ideas are built of an interlocking of meanings. Meanings can be represented by symbols. For us, these symbols have become words. When we want to express an idea, all we do is pick words that represent our different meanings and lock them together in an interaction of words that we call a sentence. We then lock sentences together in paragraphs and put them in books, magazines, or other literary forms. We have formalized the conceptualization of meaning into locked blocks called ideas. We then catalogue valid ideas, and other ideas we put together in categories such as nonsense, neologisms, science fiction, and so on. What we often don't see is that valid ideas can start off as nothing more complex than words, or a few words related to each other in a phrase. That is, the deepest, most basic concept of an idea can be a simple word.

Our dictionary is a collection of words which can be called units of ideas. Our library contains these units of the dictionary organized in intelligible ways. In the future there will arise the need for more books which would then be created from our dictionary's words organized in different intelligible ways. This is because of our inevitable progress. This work proposes that by stimulating the intelligent creation of new interactions of words, and then merging constituents by computer means, we can find new, important and interesting ideas. We do this by simply exhausting the interactions of words in ways that make sense. That is, we try to exhaust as many as possible -- of course to try to exhaust the interactions of all words would be unnecessary because only a subset of the words interacted with each other would make sense anyway.

Ideas frequently come many decades before they are accepted as being valid ideas. New ideas can almost always be stated in words from our own dictionary or in combinations of the old parts of words such as suffixes and prefixes. We get many of the suffixes and prefixes for the new words from old Latin, Greek, Arab, Asian, African, Native American or other roots.

We can get at a framework for the meaningful exhaustion of the interaction of words if we draw out the basic linguistic truth that ideas can be broken down into words, and different interactions of words equal different ideas. This theory states that it is useful to look at this idea philosophically. By an exhaustion of the interaction of words, we can theoretically discover many new ideas available to us. This is the premise of the meaningful or purposeful exhaustion of the interaction of words.
