Abstract: An adequate problem representation is fundamental for its creative solution. For a systematic search for appropriate representation we introduced Semiotic Introspection Principle (SIP). It is illustrated with the examples of problems related to the “Tough Nut Problem” of AI. In a more complex 3D version of the problem the heuristics SIP leads to a non-obvious (creative) solution literally in a few steps. It is assumed that the heuristics SIP is an important supplement to the well known heuristics GPS as SIP allows to consider problems, which in GPS require an extensive search.

Keywords: Creative problem solving, problem representation, semiotic introspection principle, “Tough Nut Problem”, 3D variation.
