Invention consists in avoiding the constructing of useless combinations and in constructing the useful combinations which are in infinite minority.  To invent is to discern, to choose.                                Henri Poincare
In jazz, superthought (informed intuition) allows one to see new possibilities where others see only more of the same, and to construct the rare useful combination.                                                  Sheena Iyengar
