summary This paper separates out and finds relations between individuals and the historical contexts in which they operated who formulated conceptual and computational interpretations of the term generative. It synthesizes literature published from the 1500s to the 1950s, beginning with the Art of Combinations (1500s—) and the pursuit of universal generative languages, leading to the information-processing systems view and heuristic programming (1950s—), the first long-term research program in AI and cognitive science. The present data-driven formulation of the generative enabled by engineering achievements in AI technology has not fundamentally changed a long-standing vision: design or creation as computation remains a kind of mechanized search of design options in a ‘latent space of possibilities.’ Understanding the generative in this way will enable researchers and educators in design, art and science to resolve various controversies that rage today—between cognitivist and connectionist approaches to creativity, between “rules” and “data.”
