You are asking how creation happens. Ask the creators. Some of them
know, or say they know, and some of them are just as surprised when it
happens as they have ever been surprised.
Yes, I would like to know how creativity happens, too. I just don't
happen to think there's anything 'memetic' about creativity, whatsoever.
