tion only represents self-control, there can be no creativity. However, in 

 this system what were recessi^•e c?-genes can become considered as dominant 

 d-genes. When this happens for the whole group, a complete reversal of 

 the social rank ordering develops. But such reversal can also take place 

 within a single individual. In essence, this means that [ij-"'^]", which is 

 equivalent to an a'^p frustrating experience, became transformed into an 

 [^i^'^]"; which is equivalent to an aaa satisfying experience, without losing 

 any intensity in the process. 



There need not be any outward manifestation of this transformed self- 

 control. \_i\^'^^ only implies cortical associations among stored traces of 

 external events lacking any aura of negativism. Other than this, there are 

 no limits to the kinds of traces which may by chance attain a high condi- 

 tional probability of association. External manifestation of p,-^'^]", that 

 is creativity, implies sufficient contact or awareness of external events to 

 permit symbolic or behavioristic alteration of the enivornment in harmony 

 with these heightened conditional probabilities of association, [z'i^'^]- 

 must not be confused with learning. I shall not attempt to go into the ques- 

 tion of learning here other than to say that it should be most effective in 

 high velocity individuals. 



It is well recognized that a feeling of ecstasy, of extreme well being, ac- 

 companies any instance of creativity. A unit of ^^°^ arising from a single 

 interaction represents such ecstasy. Recall that di°'> = 0.25. Examination 

 of Table XV reveals that not until R^. is reached in the descent through such 

 a hierarchy of A^ = 11 individuals will li^-'^J = IS^/^J/iN- 1) exceed 

 0.025. It will exceed 0.25 for Rs • • - Rn in an A^b = 11. And yet I have 

 already indicated that some of these, probably at least the last two, will 

 be so withdrawn from reality as to preclude any opportunity of creativity. 

 At most, we can therefore anticipate only 2/11 or 18% of the group to 

 possess potentialities of creativity. As N increases, proportionately more 

 individuals will accommodate by social withdrawal and relatively fewer 

 will possess potentialities of creativity. 



Realization of these potentialities requires another set of conditions, 

 opportunity for having made many satisfactory accommodations to new 

 configurations of stimuli. As discussed in the later Sections XIV, G, 1 to 

 3, this means that there must have transpired an increase in one's psycho- 

 logical area. A", as a compensation for the reduced A associated with a 

 lowered v.
