Abstract
Creativity is the characteristic of thinking differently from others. It means having different thoughts from the next one or from yesterday as a self. Creativity also means the ability to come up with a new idea.
Education means excavating and developing talents, not just looking at what is natural but developing ability by artificial endeavor as well. So is creativity. Some people say that creativity is something natural and cannot be acquired by endeavor, but actually they don’t know the mechanism of creativity. Asking many questions and generating discussions can cultivate creativity.
When we are fixed on reality, a new idea doesn’t come up easily. In this case, getting out of reality can bring forth a new idea. Since asking questions stimulates the brain to release us from reality, repeating such questions forms the habit of asking many questions that increases creativity.
We propose three types of question: Time, Space, and Field. When we meet a problem to solve, we can ask to ourselves these three questions. These questions can help us to extend our thoughts and then get new ideas.
While if simply being unchanged we are likely to adhere to reality and be entrapped in a fixed idea, moving along the three axes (time, space, field) can get us out of that reality. We can escape from a fixed idea along the three navigations. This paper is intended to present a three-dimensional navigation (i.e. questions) and explain the way to escape from a fixed idea with this navigation. It is also a method to cultivate creativity by extending our thoughts with this navigation of three components.
The three axes of TSF (time, space, and field) are bound together into one frame, that is, three-dimensional creativity. By combining three dimensions, a three-dimensional world is formed and traveling this three-dimensional world allows escaping from a fixed idea because we cannot be restricted to reality anymore.
