Todor, Mike, et al, >From a mathematical sense, a "solution" is simply a restatement of a "problem" in a particular desirable way, e.g. starting with "x=...".
In the real world, there is one set of "equations" that describes our physical system, and another set of equations that describes our situation, e.g. having a bunch of blocks in front of us. There is another "equation" that describes what we want from the solution, e.g. the blocks stacked in a particular way. When we solve this system of simultaneous equations, we learn what action is needed. Done perfectly, we would get all possible solutions at once. However, it appears that we produce solutions one-at-a-time. "Creativity" is what you use when you lack the ability to simply find the solution that has the highest value. It is a poor substitute, but it seems to work for us.
