Actual problems of creative activity and new cognitive possibilities: a transdisciplinary approach

Abstract

Digitalization of education and science is a unique opportunity for creative activity, as well as new problems of the functioning of complex dynamic systems, including the human body, in extreme conditions (technogenic, environmental, epidemics and wars). New tools are proposed, based on new phenomena, analogies and principles, as well as metamodels of thought structures and relationships between key sciences and their metasciences, the complementarity of which has cognitive and heuristic value. It is shown that the heuristic significance of successful activity is associated with the emotional perception of the harmony of nature, the holographic nature of memory and the desire to generate useful ideas. The cognitive value of extreme principles in the natural sciences, in information theory, in psychology and design is considered. Attention is drawn to new possibilities for the use of signs and symbols, the versatility of which made it possible to propose: • apply the diversity of signs and symbols in the natural sciences to bridge the gap between the humanities and science cultures; • heuristic meta-models in the form of the Star of David, the complementarity of which increases their cognitive value; • new tools for optimizing creative activity, the use of which contributes to the harmonization of interaction in the digital environment. It is proposed to unify the criteria for evaluating different types of creative activity (scientific, technical and artistic), which are aimed at solving the actual problems of the individual (health, safety and development of emotional intelligence).
