\section{Introduction}
Although computational creativity is well studied in both theory and
practice, the role of \emph{serendipity} has
often not been
discussed largely neglected
in this field -- even though serendipity has played a well-documented
role in historical instances of scientific and technical creativity.
One reason for this omission may be that the field of computational
creativity has tended to focus on artistic
creativity. But creativity, which is modelled in such a way that creative outputs are largely under the direct control of the creative agent. However,
serendipity is increasingly seen as relevant within the arts
\cite{mckay-serendipity} and other creative enterprises
\cite{kakko2009homo,engineering-serendipity}: \cite{kakko2009homo,engineering-serendipity}, where it is managed and
encouraged with methods drawn from fields ranging from architecture to data science.

An interdisciplinary perspective on the phenomenon of serendipity
promises further illumination. Here, we consider the potential for
formalising this
concept concept. This paper follows and
investigate its utility expands \citeA{pease2013discussion}, which is a robust brief survey where many of the ideas developed here were first presented. The current paper uses the opportunity of a fresh start and a wider canvas to advance some bold claims about the usefulness of serendipity as a new framework for computational creativity.
Serendipity
centres itself is centred on reassessment. For example, a non-sticky
``superglue'' that no one was quite sure how to use turned out to be
just the right ingredient for 3M's Post-it\texttrademark\ notes.
