Foundational knowledge which TRIZ is based on are dialectics. TRIZ was created as an abstraction of the "world's best solutions", as appearing in the development of inventions. TRIZ is interdisciplinary and is closely related with ontology, logic, systems of science, psychology, history of technology, history of culture and more. ...

Often, the study of bionics emphasizes imitation of a biological structure rather than just an implementation of its function. For example, in computer science, cybernetics tries to model actual organic structures that make humans intelligent, while artificial intelligence tries to model the intelligent function regardless of the particular way it can be achieved. The conscious copying of examples and mechanisms from natural organisms and ecologies is a form of applied case-based reasoning, treating nature itself as a database of solutions that already work. Proponents argue that all natural life forms minimize and ...

Related to the activity of imagining and pretending is the status of truth in fictional environments. According to the incompleteness theorems of Kurt Gödel, a countable set of consistent axioms cannot prove or refute a contradiction among themselves, or prove their own consistency. A contradiction among truths in a theory cannot be decided in the theory, but might be decidable in a broader theory. Axioms themselves are unprovable in their own theory, and only a broader theory can prove their consistency. Similarly, truth in fiction is comm ...

TRIZ is not the first attempt to establish scientific principles of innovation. The method "And - And" by R. L. Bartini is more than 20 years older than TRIZ. Both methods have grown from dialectic logic independently and at various times. Altshuller began to develop TRIZ methodology while working in USSR patent office at the time of Stalin. He and his colleagues reviewed over 200,000 patent abstracts in order to find out in what way the innovation had taken place. Incarcerated under political charges, he continued his work on ...

In the sense that a reference is itself fiction, and the source that it identifies is imaginary, the reference is also a self-reference. A self-reference automatically makes a comment about itself. Conclusions that name themselves as conclusions are conclusions by self-reference, but imply imaginary antecedents. Premises that name themselves as premises are premises by self-reference, but imply imaginary consequents. In their respective fictions the Necronomicon, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and the Red Book ...

Real consequents may also follow from imaginary sources, when a real object names an imaginary source that cannot be denied. Often times this arises in the roles people play. Acting is a profession which employs fictional premises for real jobs. Charades is a game people play for guessing imaginary objects. Imaginary personalities and histories are sometimes invented to enhance the verisimilitude of fictional universes, for the purposes of immersion and role-playing games. In the sense that they exist independently of extant personalities and histories, they are believ ...

In the public consciousness, much interest has been focused on comparing the brain with computers. A variety of obvious analogies exist - for example, the individual neurons can be compared to the transistors on a microchip, and the specialised parts of the brain can be compared with graphics cards and other system components. However, such comparisons are fraught with difficulties. Perhaps the most fundamental difference between brains and computers are that today's computers operate by performing often sequential instructions from an input ...

The normal adult human brain typically weighs between 1 and 1.5 kg (three pounds) and has an average volume of 1,600 cm³ (98 in³). The male brain has approximately 4% more brain cells and 100 grams more brain tissue than the equivalent female brain. During infancy, adolescence and adulthood, females have a higher brain weight to body weight ratio than males.[1] The mature brain consumes some 20% of the energy used by the body, while the developing b ...

Many conclusions in fiction follow from imaginary antecedents. For example, The Lord of the Rings is based on an imaginary book. In the Appendicies, Tolkien mentions a book named the Red Book of Westmarch as the source material for The Lord of the Rings, which he describes as a translation. But the Red Book of Westmarch is a fictional document that chronicles events in an imaginary world. ...

Upon completion of the Diploma Programme, students receive the IB Diploma, which is used to obtain admission to institutions of higher education. This degree is sometimes regarded as a foreign diploma, so its recognition may vary depending on the university. In Canada and the United States, some IBDP courses are recognised as equivalent to university/college-level courses, and universities and colleges may award entering students with first-year credit for high IB exam scores. In this regard it is similar to the Advanced Placement Pro ...

Chokhmah = 73 (the 22nd prime number). In ordinal numbering, Chokhmah = 37 (the middle point of 73; the 13th prime number). In small numbering, Chokhmah = 19 (the "middle point" of 37; the 9th prime number; 9 plus 13 = 22). The final "small number" of Chokhmah is 1. The full numerical value of the first verse of Creation: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" = 2701. 2701 = the sum of all numbers from 1 to 73 (i.e. the "triangle" of 73) = 37 times 73. The final phrase of the verse, "and the earth" = 703 = th ...

In the array of sefirot in three columns (gimel kavim), Chokmah is situated at the top of the right column, and corresponds to the right hemisphere of the brain. There are several aspects of Chokhmah: The word Chokhmah itself may be broken into two words -- koach ("potential") and ma ("what is"). Thus, Chokhmah means "the potential of what is," or, "the potential to be." This aspect of Chokhmah describes the state of Chokhmah in relation to the sefira of Keter. As Chokhmah emanates from Keter, the first dawning of ...

Is it possible to learn to be an inventor? Russian engineer and researcher Genrich Saulovich Altshuller believed that such a thing was in fact possible. To prove it, he developed TRIZ, the theory and practice of the science of invention. On initial stages of work, Altshuller discovered that principles found while analyzing patents from one industry are applicable for problems in other industries. TRIZ evolved also by transferring strong principles from one field to another. His results are being applied to solve creative invention problems not just within all branches of engineering, but within many other techni ...

The word Chokhmah is read in the Zohar (Numbers 220b) as koach mah, "the power of selflessness," or, alternatively, as cheich mah, "the palate of selflessness." "The power of selflessness" implies not only the attribute of selflessness itself, but the great creative power that selflessness entails. "The palate of selflessness" is the soul's ability to "taste" Divinity by virtue of one's state of selflessness, as is said (Psalms 34:9): "Taste and see that God is good." In general, the sense of sight relates to Chok ...

Individual companies operating in the Creative Industries encounter a series of barriers to growth as they mature, and there is no inevitable ladder that stretches from micro-business to public company. In fact, many of the founders of firms do not actually wish to grow but would better be characterised as Lifestyle Businesses. This is not to denigrate what they do in any way (many win multiple awards and collectively they generate wealth and provide large employment opportunities for many people) but Lifestyle Businesses tend to be less sustainable in the face of economic downturn, chang ...

Globally, Creative Industries excluding software and general scientific Research and Development are said to have accounted for around 4% of the world's economic output in 1999, which is the last year for which comprehensive figures are available. Estimates of the output corresponding to scientific Research and Development suggest that an additional 4-9% might be attributable to the sector if its definition is extended to include such activities, thoug ...
