No, it isn t a contradiction in terms. The objectives pilot began with no more than a culling of every objective process that was known at that time. Many were many high-level BOPs, processes that supplemented the standard objectives battery. Arrival in the present is the first step.

The title of this column promised a discussion of objectives and creativity and we haven t even touched on the C-word yet. You have no power over something you are avoiding, denying, or running away from. Creativity assumes that you know your tools well, tools that are physical universe elements or instruments. And you must control the material elements enough to order and arrange them in a new and pleasing way, whether those elements are sound waves or marble. The idea may seem inspired or to come from the Platonic realm.
