Abstract

The Escher Theorem was first proved and discussed in the context of mathematical gesture theory (Mazzola and Andreatta, 2007; Mazzola, 2009). We shall review the theorem here as a case study relating to explicit strategies for creativity. This theorem was first applied to describe creative strategies in free jazz, see (Mazzola and Cherlin, 2009).
