The first part tells us the subject: Henri Poincare discovered a new mathematical method called the Fuchsian functions. The second part deals with the process of how Henri Poincare got bright ideas. The last part comes to the result that bright ideas came as a result of conscious thinking. Para.5
As a contrast, we may consider a famous story: the discovery by Henri Poincare, the great French mathematician, of a new mathematical method called the Fuchsian functions. Here we see the conscious mind, in a person of highest ability, actually watching the unconscious at work. For weeks, he sat at his table every day and spent an hour or two trying a great number of combinations but he arrived at no result. One night he drank some black coffee, contrary to his usual habit, and was unable to sleep. Many ideas kept surging in his head; he could almost feel them pushing against one another, until two of them combined to form a stable combination, When morning came, he had established the existence of one class of Fuchsian functions. He had only to prove the results, which took only a few hours. Here, we see the conscious mind observing the new combinations being formed in the unconscious, while the Wagner story shows the sudden explosion of a new concept into consciousness.
The subject: Take the example of Richard Wagner composing the opening to “Rhinegold”. Wagner was occupied with the idea of the “Ring” for several years, and for many months had been struggling to begin composing.
The subject: As a contrast, we may consider a famous story: the discovery by Henri Poincare, the great French mathematician, of a new mathematical method called the Fuchsian functions. 9
The process of forming big ideas: On September 4,1853, he reached Spezia sick, went to a hotel, could not sleep for noise without and fever within, took a long walk the next day, and in the afternoon flung himself on a couch intending to sleep. Then at last the miracle happened for which his unconscious mind had been seeking for so long. Falling into a sleeplike condition, he suddenly felt as though he was sinking in a mighty flood of water, and the rush and roar soon took musical shape within his brain. He recognized that the orchestral opening to the “Rhinegold”, which he must have carried about within him yet had never been able to put into form, had at last taken its shape within him. The result: In this example, the conscious mind at the moment of creation knew nothing of the actual processes by which the solution was found.
