Invention can be thought of as a new framework of knowledge - a new arrangement of atoms that change how an organism interacts with the world (Peter Thiel's Zero to One is an advocate of this.)
In fact, Romer, an economist, believed that the only long-term growth of human economy was through the growth of knowledge. He proved this theorem and won a Nobel Prize. When knowledge grows in society, we re-shape our interactions with the world, and therefore improve our relationship with reality.
However, this growth of knowledge is not simply mental and symbolic knowledge - for, in face, genes are knowledge. Thus, invention - growth and molding of knowledge - is also a description of evolution, in which the knowledge-store of DNA is continuously improved over time to grow Life.
