facts and materials considered necessary for finding new solutions.

solution will tend to fade. The individual experiences a period of idleness.
3. Illumination:Following the period of incubation the creative ideas occur
suddenly. Consequently the obscure thing becomes clear. This sudden flash of
solution is known as illumination and is similar to ‘aha (eureka)’ experience.

the solution is done. If the solution is not satisfactory the thinker will go back to
creative process from the beginning.
