A tendency of social sciences to reconstruct models of subject behavior on the pattern of classical science that predicts  objects' behavior, causes a great amount of difficulty in terms of method and methodology, i.e. procedure.

 

The main problem lies in the fact that an object's behavior is described in the context of mechanistical process, a subject's behavior requires description in terms of the evolutionary process.

 

To provide an adequate explanation for a subject' behavior it is necessary to formulate the methodology and define research methods for creative processes. This method was labeled Semantic Analysis.

 

Methodology of Semantic Analysis is aimed at the study of creative processes (development, evolution, artistic activity), which can not be objects of classical science, because it reduces them to mechanistic processes of a finite content defined through a certain finite set of axioms and deduction rules. That makes it possible for classical science to provide simple univalent predictions in the context of a relevant concept.

 

Creative processes can not be defined within a formal system, while development represents an infinite matter not subject to one-way predictions.         

 

However, this fact does not exclude a possibility for revealing the matter of each stage of  a creative process  (as a stream of formation).
