“While I pride myself on trying to be creative in all areas of my life, I have occasionally gone overboard, like the time I decided to bring to a party a salad that I constructed, on a huge rattan platter, to look like a miniature scale model of the Gardens of Babylon.” TryingLooksPartyGoneCreativeHugePrideModelsAreasGardenDecidedScalesBe CreativeSaladMiniaturesOverboardBabylon Author:Gregory Maguire

“The Romans have provided a lot of writers with a model for various interstellar empires, of course, and no wonder. The Roman Empire is a really good example of a large empire that, in one form or another, functioned for quite a long time over a very large area. And over all that time, there was all sorts of exciting drama - civil wars and assassinations and revolts and bits breaking off and being forced back in ... But I didn't want my future - however fanciful it was - to be entirely European. The Radchaai aren't meant to be Romans in Space.” WantLongWarFormCoursesBitsSpaceWonderExampleDramaLong TimeModelsAreasExcitingVariousCivil WarEmpiresMeant To BeMy FutureRevoltAssassinationRoman EmpireGood ExamplesInterstellar Author:Ann Leckie

“The traditional model for a company like Coca-Cola is to hire one big advertising agency and essentially outsource all of its creativity in that area. But Coca-Cola does not do it that way. It knows how to manage creative people and creative teams and it has been quite adept at building a network that includes the Creative Artists Agency in Hollywood, which is a talent agency.” PeopleKnowsWayDoeHas BeensBigsArtistCompanyCreativityKnow HowCreativeTeamTalentBuildingModelsAreasHollywoodTraditionalAdvertisingManageAgencyCreative PeopleCreative ArtAdvertising AgenciesAdeptCreative ArtistsCoca ColaCreative Team Author:John Kao
“I started with "Pickman's Model," because it was about Boston. I mean, what I loved about [H. P. Lovecraft], at first is his sense of scholarship of an area, setting an environment, enlivening it.

“Spiritual models for me are the communities of Tibetans living in exile in India, or the banjars of Bali, which exist in times of difficulty, oppression. Alternative spaces-perhaps this kind of communication can take place over the Net? Probably only up to a point as the Net's controlled by the military. But the idea is to live outside multi-national, monocultural, commodification prison, outside the grey areas of power-mad, monied collusion.” KindIdeasSpiritualCommunitySpaceMilitaryCommunicationModelsAreasIndiaDifficultyMadPrisonOppressionAlternativesControlledGreyExileTibetanBaliCommodificationCollusionGrey Areas Author:Anne Waldman
“The sciences do not try to explain, they hardly even try to interpret, they mainly make models. By a model is meant a mathematical construct which, with the addition of certain verbal interpretations, describes observed phenomena. The justification of such a mathematical construct is solely and precisely that it is expected to work-that is, correctly to describe phenomena from a reasonably wide area.” TryingScienceCertainModelsEvidenceAreasAccountsMathematicsWideExpectedObservationMathematicalInterpretationJustificationConstructsMathematical Models Book:The Neumann Compendium Source: The Neumann Compendium
