Chapter 6 Social Aspects of Concept Invention

This chapter surveys frameworks that describe social creativity. It focuses on mathematics, but includes work which heads in a more general direction: first, by examining social creativity in music, and then turning to a description of several new results that use formal, qualitative, and simulation techniques to theorise social creativity on computers. The chapter includes a pilot study examining the salience of various frameworks for the analysis of mathematical text.
