• Flow (Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi)is being described
  as being completely involved in an activity for
  its own sake. The ego falls away. Time flies.
  Every action, movement, and thought follows
  inevitably from the previous one, like playing
  jazz.Jazz improvisation as flow...the music
  will work itself...goes into
  autopilot...stream of consciousnessFlowThe

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

• Phenomenological theory of consciousness (no
  neuronal bio-chemical model)consciousness
  intentionally ordered information (contrast
  dream)
• What is the self? It is the sum of all contents
  of consciousness
• Disorder of self entropy (in general, entropy
  is a measure for disorder in physics)
• Flow order in consciousness optimal
  experience negentropyinformation coming into
  awareness congruent with goalsThis is an
  individual experience, not one of a group of
  individuals!
• transformation of time characteristic for flow
• MCs description of flow in musicthree ways of
  listening to music sensorial, analogic, and
  analytical (with increasing complexity)problemati
  c classification via logical vs. analogical
  approach. Listening to free jazz a priori low
  rated (analogic...). The gestural component is
  not recognized.

Keith Sawyer (Group Creativity)

• Group flow as equilibrium between shared
  structures and specific goal
• shared structures overall outline of
  performance, repertory of ready-mades, roles of
  performers, agreement on tacit interaction
  practices
• specific goal extrinsic goal for problem
  solving creativityintrinsic goal for problem
  finding creativity
• business teams have flow in many shared
  structures extrinsic goal
• improvisational groups have few shared structures
  intrinsic goal
• both live on the diagonal line in Sawyers diagram
