"An Approach to Human-Machine Collaboration in Innovation"
This paper contains the first mathematical proof that there is a limit to how creative a computer can be. The set of features of an object cannot be completely listed out by machine, so a computer cannot there is a limit to how creative a computer can be with an object. Every innovation is based upon at least one rarely-noticed or completely new feature of an object (Obscure Features Hypothesis).

The paper then goes on to rigorously define the BrainSwarming grammar and its bi-directional networks (Bi-Nets) that hold the key to powerful collaborative problem solving.
