Let me also mention that creative thinking happens at the border of order and chaos.

You destroy some rules, work inside the chaos, you have your epiphany and then you try to go back to order. Is this idea right? Does it make sense? Can it be formally described?

Examples of that are:
a) the dirac delta function

b) Einstein's mathematical naivety
