One of the best ways to raise Glow is through creative processes: inspiring, building, changing, rebuilding, helping others up as you do, or simply bringing them along for a ride. This creative cycle forms the very heart of the Grid, birthed at the beginning of everything when something in unformed primal chaos became aware of itself, introspecting, looping, shaping and redefining itself until it ramified into the boundless diversity of the universe. That cycle, which Gridwalkers call the Circuit, suffuses everything in the Grid, and also serves as a way of beginning to understand Grid and Glow in terms of those core concepts of creation, formation, breakdown, and re-creation</ins></div></td></tr>
