As we have indicated, serendipity would seem to require features of
both discovery and
invention; invention: that is, the discovery of something
unexpected and the invention of an application for the same.
We must complement \emph{analysis}
with \emph{synthesis} \cite{delanda1993virtual}. The balance Both
processes can be seen as ongoing and diverse, which underscores the
relationship between
these two features will differ from case serendipity and creativity. According to
case.
\citeA{creativity-crisis} write that: ``To be Arthur
Cropley \citeyear{cropley2006praise}, creative
requires
divergent thinking
(generating many unique ideas) and then convergent
thinking (combining those ideas into the best result).'' This is
exemplified involves
``novelty generation followed by
Voltaire's \citeyear{zadig} character Zadig (a figure
inspired (or accompanied by) exploration of
the novelty from the point of view of workability, acceptability, or
similar criteria, in
part by order to determine if it is effective.''
Following \citeA{austin2003chase}, Cropley understands serendipity to
describe the
``The Three Princes case of
Serendip''\footnote{\citeA[p. 19]{merton}.}) a person who
``was capable ``stumbles upon something novel and
effective when not looking for it.'' Nearby categories are
\emph{blind luck}, the \emph{luck of
discerning the diligent} (or
pseudoserendipity) and \emph{self-induced luck}; however, Cropley
questions ``whether it is a
Thousand Variations matter of luck at all'' because of the
work and knowledge involved in the process of assessment.

The perspective developed here strengthens these criteria in
visible Objects, two ways:
firstly, we point out that
others, less
curious, imagin’d were all alike'' -- while work is also
possessing involved in the
complementary talent ``to render Truth as obvious as possible: Whereas
most Men study to render it intricate process of
uncovering, and
obscure.'' secondly, we defer ``novelty'' to the invention phase.
In other words, serendipity involves creative making. Furthermore, we
emphasise the importance of active, agential discernment over more
passive stumbling.
