Creative Problem Solving Simulator

Creative problem solving alternates between divergent thinking — generating as many ideas as possible without judgment — and convergent thinking — narrowing them down with a filter or checklist like SCAMPER. This simulator makes that rhythm visible: ideas branch outward from a central problem node into a live mind map, a force-directed layout keeps related ideas clustered and unrelated ones apart, and an optional constraint filter culls low-viability ideas the instant they appear. Tune the generation rate, divergent spread and convergent refinement to see how each stage of the creative process shapes the resulting map of ideas.
