Reality truth vs. truth in a constructed system
Absolutely vs. modestly claimed truth value
-Checkable truth
-Personal experience
-2nd-hand experience
-Generally accepted
-Authority
Logic truth value:
-Correspond with reality
-Accord to line of argument
-Must it follow?
Critical thinking: uncover truth by attacking &removing all that false, not enough for constructive thinking
Under what circumstance?

Truth and Creativity: ways things are, ways things should be
Critical thinking: true? truth value? does it follow? must it follow?
Creative: hypothesis, speculation, provocation
Lateral: Provocation (received, reversal, escape, wishful, outrageous) &movement (attitude, moment-to-moment, principle, difference, value, interesting)
Basic operations: cut, stick, shape
Further habits: circumstance, broad &detail

Speculation: certain, good guess, possible, tentative, provocation
Scientific thinking: analyse evidence, most reasonable hypothesis, prove it wrong (not right)
Paradigm shift is hard because we only find what we are ready to see
Lateral thinking: B->A through side walk (after get lost)
Movement: over the ridge, self-organised system fall into place
Provocation: reversal, escape, wishful, outrageous

Two ways of broad and detail: generating alternatives, extracting broad ideas. Three levels: detailed idea, broad idea, broad approach.
3 Basic thinking operations:
-Cutting: focus, extract a feature, analysis, expansion
-Sticking: connections, recognition, synthesis, construction, design
-Shaping: judgement (assessing), matching, hypothesis, comparison
