	creative thinking beyond scholarship gary e. davis	June 15, 2026

I play home. I venture to find better design created as if disclosed, as if awaiting
in my horizon, which may actualize better realization of Our potential (bibliophil-
ically engaged)—such as I can “find” us actualized, as best I can constellate preferred intimacies.

I play, day to day, novel themic occurences, emergent foci, self-presencing phenomenal points of interest starring from reverie whose followed appeal enhances the given phenomenality, which may differentiate itself into new appeals evincing more to constellate, to individuate into coherng which later occasions more playing home.

Heidegger called this “regioning of that-which-regtions” (p. 81 here), “her con-
stellating.” (Yet, who is she, archetypally mirroring constellated inceptions?)

That presumes a capability for framing and flexible perspectivity which serves novel associating fruitfully, which appeals for appreciation of high individuation, as a matter of educational psychology, as well as for better understanding condi-
tions for the possibility of creativity manifoldly (“Talent” in 3-fold recursivity, mentioned recently), including creativity as appealingly-novel constellating Flows of realization.

So, a singular life—after the legacy of “philosophers” (after “the end of philo-
sophy” [pp. 55ff. here]—becomes conceptual venturing.

But the singularity is literal here (maybe idiosyncratic—I hope not), regardless of anyone finding exemplarity. (I want no pretense, for my part, though prospecting exemplarity in principle is important.)

Venturing is venturing as one can; for me, it’s fun: maybe doing meta-constel-lational self-enhanciveness which intimates someday an ultimate synergism of tropology which is evincive for others.

Yet, that would be more opening for conceptual prospects in designing futures, not any high homeostasis of conception (the 19^th century German yoke).

We share the fate of flowers, mostly never seen, while anyway the best gardening of appreciation sees life ending for the sake of new generations.

Oh, synthesizing mind, may we be good ancestors! May integrity of constellative ventures echo canonical poiesis well enough that evolving new ways of being in Time furthers “the poetic species.”
