(4) the irreproducible "initial" observation, which cannot be clearly seen in retrospect, constituting a chaos; (5) the slow and laborious revelation and awareness of "what one actually sees" or the gaining of experience; (6) that what has been revealed and concisely summarized in a scientific statement is an artificial structure, related but only genetically so, both to the original intention and to the substance of the "first" observation. The original observation need not even belong to the same class as that of the facts it led toward.

Direct perception of form [Gestaltsehen] requires being experienced in the relevant field of thought. The ability directly to perceive meaning, form, and self-contained unity is acquired only after much experience, perhaps with preliminary training. At the same time, of course, we lose the ability to see something that contradicts the form.

--- Ludwik Fleck, Genesis and development of a scientific fact.


Since the initial chaos is rarely, if ever, documented, human creativity my not be accessible to various machine learning methods (unless we have 24/7 brain and activity monitors). On the other hand, the process of gaining experience can be accelerated, while a creative breakthrough has been achieved.

When applied to science practice, the gestalt theory is simply wrong.

WRT gaining experience, see LRRH.
