I agree. Going back further, we see the innovation drivers were God providing for man (Bible), people providing for their needs/wants at a societal level (most systems), individuals pursuing what they enjoy, seemingly random acts that go against reason, etc.
This was enacted via specific processes (human brain) using resources and their environment within their constraints, sometimes surplus. It involved local and global phenomenon that were dependent and independent.
In short, it's nothing like cellular automata or most simplistic models of the world. We'd have to model the above within this world's laws to know what drives innovation among humans in this world.
