Description

This preprint is published simultaneously in English and Russian as two self-contained files. Neither is a translation; each reads as an original.

This paper introduces a method and tool — Kreator — for generating creative ideas based on the three-phase structure of the creatème, the minimal unit of creative thought. The creatème is a transition from an initial matrix (a system of axioms) through a productive anomaly ("error" or "heresy") to the emergence of a new matrix in which the formerly impossible becomes necessary. Kreator operationalizes this structure as a generative mechanism: it takes any text as input and produces a three-phase creatème. A second stage, augmentation, extracts the creatème's latent principle and unfolds it across diverse domains. The method is linked to the Index of the Interesting (Epstein 2001, 2025): where the Index measures the tension between the improbable and the credible, Kreator produces that tension. The paper positions Kreator among existing idea-generation methods (TRIZ, Koestler's bisociation, lateral thinking), describes the generator's architecture including its system prompt, and demonstrates its operation on calibration examples. A working HTML generator with built-in demo mode (no API key required) is included.
