Paper Abstract
Some of the greatest mathematicians and scientists in history have made their most important contributions by applying unsystematically one of three general patterns or templates for inventions. Here, for the first time to my knowledge, these templates are stated explicitly and illustrated with examples from optics. I call them The Do- Nothing Machine, The Continuous Extension, The Up-Down Paradigm, and The Reversal of Fortune.
