摘要：AbstractIn this paper, I propose a diagram for describing creative process based on the creative systems theory, where creative processes are considered as autopoietic reproduction networks of discoveries. Creative systems diagram has three views: elements view, summary view, and details view. Elements view describes the flow of discoveries and their groups; summary view describes the relations among the groups; and details view describes more details information about the emergence of elements. As a case, this paper shows diagrams for creative processes to invent a visualizing method with using chaos, which we call “footprints of chaos.” I anticipate that my proposed diagram would be useful toolkits to make reflections of creative process in any domains.
