Adjacent Possible
Sunday, July 10, 2011 
It's first a biological concept from what I understand, "The Adjacent Possible." Stuart Kauffman proposed the theory. I read about it in Where Good Ideas Come From by Steven Johnson.
Johnson argues the theory suggests that the proximity between ideas is a key component to their forming new ones similar to how biological functions of formation occur.
It was a little like a "well duh" moment when I first thought of this. However, the mental construct of space and parts and proximity as it relates to ideas has been and I suspect will continue to be powerful for me. It's caused me to look at the various buckets of raw materials I have and can draw from in an objective way. For instance some of the buckets of raw materials for ideas I can easily draw on include: Construction, Philosophy, Swimming, Teaching, Technology, Marketing, and Aeronautics.
I've been wondering about what kinds of ideas I am predisposed to make because of the buckets I already have, because of the idea parts that are around to work with. Further, I have been assessing what kinds of ideas I'd like to make and what raw materials I will need to amass in order to do so. This has been a very positive exercise to use the metaphor of space and buckets of idea parts thus far.
