Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Introduction to Emergence & Imagination

Course subject(s) 3. Emergence & Imagination

This module is all about emergence.

The puzzle is an example of an emergence process. You will find the answer by problem solving and solution thinking at the same time. It is hard to solve the puzzle by just thinking, but when you start drawing, especially when you start with the AA and BB lines, you might suddenly see the solution to connect CC. We call this insight ’emergence’.

This module you will see some examples of emergence and we will match it to subjects like imagination, inspiration, cognition and context.
