ParaMind Brainstorming Software is one of many brainstorm
ing software programs.
Brainstorming software programs are a frequently used but still not popular type
of software that have been in existence at least since the 1980s. ParaMind was
the first of the generative programs that went beyond random word combination.
ParaMind was noted in the book Creative Problem Solving for Managers: Developing Skills for Decision Making And Innovation, by Tony Proctor, and in the book Ideate with June A Valladares by June A Valladares.
It was also mentioned in Root Cause Analysis: Simplified Tools and Techniques, Second Edition by Bjorn Andersen, Tom Fagerhaug.
ParaMind is also mentioned in Guide to Writing Empirical Papers, Theses, and Dissertations by G. David Garson. This book states:
"ParaMind is another type of brainstorming software. It works by generating new text from your writing, thereby expanding on any idea based on one of hundreds of built-in related word chains, to which the writer can add. As such, it goes beyond common "writer's helper" software that may ask the writer questions related to his or her subject, flow charting that writer's concepts or generating random word combinations that provide idea variations typed in by the author. In ParaMind, a single sentence or paragraph can be expanded and permuted into up to 100 pages of related statements. In simple "merge" mode, ParaMind operates as a sort of thesaurus, suggesting substitutes for words the writer highlights in text. However, in "large merge" mode, many pages of new, reworded relationships are generated, providing feedback on hundreds of new relationships and associations relevant to the concepts contained in the author's original text."
There is a book devoted to ParaMind called The Exhaustion of the Interaction of Words:
Brainstorming with the ParaMind Brainstorming Program, by R.S. Pearson. It discusses
an experimental linguistic theory that has philosophical overtones.
ParaMind was the first brainstorming program in Windows in 1992, and the program has gone through numerous versions since. The company released a more advanced Professional Version in 2002. There are also separate databases in Science and Law/Business that
can be added to any versions after 3.0.
