hypercreativity
Hypercreativity is an extremely high degree of creativity, whether it's experienced in periodic moments or for an extended period of time. It's often accompanied by a lot of energy, passion, and faster than normal thought speed.
All people experience creativity... but not everybody experiences hypercreativity. This is a mind state characterized by abstract thought patterns, rapid cycles of thinking, and a diverse array of ideas that may seem to be random but are often related in a subconscious way.
Hypercreativity occurs naturally in certain people... but just as with any other brain-related disciplines, hypercreativity can be cultivated and practiced. Just about anybody can increase their level of hypercreativity through self-awareness, thought exercises, and the acquisition of knowledge in addition to creative experience.
The challenge for a person experiencing hypercreativity is staying on task, focusing, and the diligence to finish projects when their passions and attentions drift elsewhere. In fact, this is often the biggest difference between individuals for whom hypercreativity occurs naturally and those who develop their hypercreativity.

When Angela saw the inspirational film, her hypercreativity kicked in like a bolt of lighting... she seized her sketchbook and markers and sketched ideas well into the night.

hyperreality
Hyperreality is design-centric skeuomorphic experience that exists in an increasingly fault-tolerant user experience in which objects are being deconstructed to their mimetic attributes. A tangible example of this is the touch-screen keypad replacing the flip phone keypad.
This has measurable impact on cultural consumers; who now define a product as an intersection between form and function (analogous to whole and sum-of-parts unity in modernism). Form-function unity induces a parallel revolution in material design and composition. (Even the term “material design” is an oxymoron in postmodernism.)
The increasing prevalence of skeuomorphs in disparate technological contexts and mediums means that culturally, the fake converges with the real in a hyperreality or augmented-reality-as-an-interface existence. This is evidenced by the rise of virtual reality, Google glass, Pokemon Go, virtual geo-cache incentivization, and most significantly, false social nodes (filter bubbles) created by online social networks that have an off-world impact.
Created by Rene Girard's theory of mimetics, Rene Baudrillard's Simulacra, and Kashif Vikaas's Theory of Hypermodernism.

McLuhan's argument that 'the media is the message' is the founding assumption of postmodern mass communication theory. Hyperreality creates instances in which the message (now the skeuomorph) becomes the medium.
