The Algorithms of Creativity

Master the Golden Architecture

Neal Sperling's Framework for Creative Genius. Distilling the 55/5 Principle, EPS Logic, and the Universal Ratio.

The 55/5 Principle

Einstein said: "If I had an hour to save the world, I would spend 55 minutes defining the problem and 5 minutes finding the solution."

The EPS Engine

The universal algorithm to deconstruct and rebuild any system.

E

Elements

Identify the atomic units. The raw data, the ingredients, the fundamental truths that cannot be further reduced.

P

Processes

The verb layer. The actions, sequences, and logistics that transform raw elements into movement.

S

Systems

The self-sustaining loop. When EPS is balanced, the system generates its own energy and predictable outcomes.

The Golden Spiral

Everything from galaxies to the human ear follows the 1.618 ratio. Neal teaches that alignment with this universal design isn't just aesthetic—it's functional.

The Four Corners

"If these four don't align, there is no trust."

Climbing the Marketing Staircase

01. Branding Identity

Distilling complexity into one word or phrase. (e.g. "FedEx: Overnight")

02. Connectivity

Building relationship capital with the 'nodes' of power and influence.

03. Publicity Authority

Turning connectivity into permanent public relevance and credibility.

04. The Movement

When your brand is no longer a product, but a culture people join.
