Plato was a theorist born in Athens c. 428BC. He laid the foundations of Western philosophy and science.
Plato believed in a 'creator' who created the physical world. He said that the creator made only one of everything which is known as the 'form' or the 'idea', and that everything else is just a copy and therefore imperfect. Ideas (or 'forms') only exist in the mind, but once they're produced they are only a copy and thus imperfect.
This theory could be applied to my work, as I have lots of 'perfect', 'original' ideas for it in my head, but once I actually put them into action they will just become imperfect 'copies'.
