Abstract:
This paper examines one of the most important but overlooked concepts in pattern language
theory; creation processes without the self (ego). Christopher Alexander, the inventor of the
pattern language concept and methodology, focused on a generative mechanism beyond the
individual designer level and claimed that creation originated from this basis. In this paper,
first, the similarities between Alexander’s arguments and those of fiction writers who claim
that, ‘the author does not intentionally create the story; the characters in the story act on their
own, and the story unfolds itself’ are examined under an ‘egoless creation’ concept. Then,
egoless creation is examined through the theories of autopoetic systems: Social Systems
Theory and Creative Systems Theory. It was found that egoless creation is a state in which
the chain of generated discoveries within a creative system is experienced by the psychic
system, that the patterns in a pattern language work primarily as `discovery media' within the
creative system, and that pattern language facilitates a structural coupling of the psychic and
the social systems. Through these analyses, this paper illuminates the egoless creation
concept from a systems theory perspective.

In this paper, a new, non-psychological and non-sociological approach to understanding creativity is proposed.
The approach is based on autopoietic system theory, where an autopoietic system is defined as a unity whose
organization is defined by a particular network of production processes of elements. While the theory was
originally proposed in biology and then applied to sociology, I have applied it to understand the nature of
creation, and called it "Creative Systems Theory". A creative system is an autopoietic system whose element
is "discovery", which emerges only when a synthesis of three selections has occurred: "idea", "association",
and "consequence". With using these concepts, we open the way to understand creation itself separated from
psychic and social aspects of creativity. On this basis, the coupling between creative, psychic, and social
systems is discussed. I suggest, in this paper, the future of creativity studies, re-defining a discipline
"Creatology" for inquiring creative systems and propose an interdisciplinary field as "Creative Sciences" for
interdisciplinary connections among creatology, psychology, and so on.

There are several reasons why study of creativity is pursued from so many angles today. First,
against the backdrop of the shift from labor-intensive work to knowledge-intensive work, many
people involved in business need to make full use of intelligence and creativity for obtaining
