Commentary
Based on my readings of such books as Bounce and Sensemaking, the underlying reason for major scientific and medical breakthroughs has to do with the fact that a long period of time was put into any field of study. It was noted that Albert Einstein discovered the Theory of Relativity while playing a violin, after years of scientific research.
Receptive was a key word used by Christian Madsbjerg when describing creative professionals and their discoveries, which was why it became a part of this neologism. It is an important word, because it shows the awareness that one has with one\’s own surroundings, specifically society and how society is missing what the creative professional would know.
It would require protyposymbiosis in order to develop proficiency in any field of study or trade.
