Abstract
If we return to the analogy of chapter 1, of a sportsman who aspires to be an Olympic champion, it is clearly necessary to train one’s natural inventiveness very rigorously and continually for years, if one wants to achieve the ability to produce really creative solutions to the problems one sets oneself. In this section I shall try to formulate some of the training rules for a would-be inventor.
