+
+## 1. Trends of Technical Evolution
+
+### Concept
+Technical systems evolve along predictable patterns. Understanding these trends helps predict future states and design next-generation solutions.
+
+### 8 Key Trends
+
+**Trend 1: Mono-Bi-Poly (Increasing Complexity Then Simplification)**
+- Mono: Single system
+- Bi: System + counteracting system
+- Poly: Multiple interacting systems
+- Then: Integration/simplification
+
+**Example:**
+- Mono: Manual transmission (single system)
+- Bi: Manual + automatic (two options)
+- Poly: CVT, dual-clutch, automated manual (many variants)
+- Integration: Seamless hybrid transmission
+
+**Application:** If stuck at Bi-Poly stage, look for integration opportunities
+
+**Trend 2: Transition to Micro-Level**
+- Macro → Meso → Micro → Nano
+- System operates at smaller scales over time
+
+**Example:**
+- Macro: Room air conditioner
+- Meso: Window unit
+- Micro: Personal cooling device
+- Nano: Fabric with cooling nanoparticles
+
+**Application:** Can your solution work at smaller scale?
+
+**Trend 3: Increasing Dynamism & Controllability**
+- Fixed → Adjustable → Adaptive → Self-regulating
+
+**Example:**
+- Fixed: Solid chair
+- Adjustable: Height-adjustable chair
+- Adaptive: Chair that conforms to posture
+- Self-regulating: Chair that actively prevents back pain
+
+**Application:** Add adjustability, then feedback control, then autonomous adaptation
+
+**Trend 4: Increasing Ideality (IFR - Ideal Final Result)**
+- System delivers more benefits with fewer costs and harms
+- Ultimate: All benefits, no cost/harm (ideal is unattainable but directional)
+
+**Formula:** Ideality = Σ(Benefits) / [Σ(Costs) + Σ(Harms)]
+
+**Application:** Systematically increase numerator (add benefits) and decrease denominator (remove costs/harms)
+
+**Trend 5: Non-Uniform Development**
+- Different parts evolve at different rates → contradictions emerge
+- Advanced subsystem bottlenecked by primitive subsystem
+
+**Example:** High-performance engine limited by weak transmission
+
+**Application:** Identify lagging subsystems and bring them to parity
+
+**Trend 6: Transition to Super-System**
+- Individual system → System + complementary systems → Integrated super-system
+
+**Example:**
+- Computer alone
+- Computer + printer + scanner (separate)
+- All-in-one device (integrated super-system)
+
+**Application:** What complementary systems can be integrated?
+
+**Trend 7: Matching/Mismatching**
+- Matching: All parts work in coordination (efficiency)
+- Mismatching: Deliberate asymmetry for specific function
+
+**Example:** Matched: All wheels same size (car). Mismatched: Different front/rear tires (drag racer)
+
+**Application:** Sometimes deliberate mismatch creates new capabilities
+
+**Trend 8: Increasing Use of Fields**
+- Mechanical → Thermal → Chemical → Electric → Magnetic → Electromagnetic
+
+**Example:**
+- Mechanical: Manual saw
+- Thermal: Hot wire cutter
+- Electric: Powered saw
+- Magnetic: Magnetic coupling
+- Electromagnetic: Laser cutter
+
+**Application:** Can you replace mechanical action with a "higher" field?
+
+### How to Apply Trends
+
+**Step 1:** Identify where current system is on each trend
+**Step 2:** Predict next stage in evolution
+**Step 3:** Design solution that leapfrogs to next stage
+**Step 4:** Look for contradictions that arise and resolve with TRIZ principles
+
+---
+
+## 2. Substance-Field Analysis
+
+### Concept
+Model systems as interactions between substances (S1, S2) and fields (F) to identify incomplete or harmful models and transform them.
+
+### Basic Model: S1 - F - S2
+- **S1:** Object being acted upon (workpiece, patient, user)
+- **F:** Field providing energy (mechanical, thermal, chemical, electrical, magnetic)
+- **S2:** Tool/agent acting on S1 (cutter, heater, medicine, interface)
+
+### Complete vs Incomplete Models
+
+**Incomplete (Doesn't work well):**
+```
+S1 ---- S2   (No field, or field too weak)
+```
+**Solution:** Add or strengthen field
+
+**Complete (Works):**
+```
+S1 <-F-> S2   (Field connects substances effectively)
+```
+
+### 76 Standard Solutions
+
+TRIZ catalogs 76 standard substance-field transformations. Key examples:
+
+**Problem: Incomplete model (S1 and S2 not interacting)**
+- **Solution 1:** Add field F between them
+- **Solution 2:** Replace S2 with more reactive substance S3
+- **Solution 3:** Add substance S3 as intermediary
+
+**Problem: Harmful action (field F causes unwanted effect)**
+- **Solution 1:** Insert substance S3 to block harmful field
+- **Solution 2:** Add field F2 to counteract F1
+- **Solution 3:** Remove or modify S2 to eliminate harmful field
+
+**Problem: Need to detect or measure S1 (invisible, inaccessible)**
+- **Solution 1:** Add marker substance S3 that reveals S1
+- **Solution 2:** Use external field F2 to probe S1
+- **Solution 3:** Transform S1 into S1' that's easier to detect
+
+### Application Example
+
+**Problem:** Need to inspect internal pipe for cracks (S1 = pipe, can't see inside)
+
+**Substance-field analysis:**
+```
+Current: S1 (pipe) - no effective field - S2 (inspector)
+Incomplete model
+```
+
+**Solutions via standard models:**
+1. Add ferromagnetic particles + magnetic field (field F reveals cracks)
+2. Add ultrasonic field (detect reflection changes at cracks)
+3. Add pressurized dye penetrant (substance S3 reveals cracks)
+
+**Selected:** Magnetic particle inspection (proven technique)

+
+## 3. ARIZ Algorithm
+
+### Concept
+ARIZ (Algorithm of Inventive Problem Solving) is systematic step-by-step process for complex problems where contradiction isn't obvious.
+
+### ARIZ Steps (Simplified)
+
+**Step 1: Problem Formulation**
+- State problem as given
+- Identify ultimate goal
+- List available resources (time, space, substances, fields, information)
+
+**Step 2: Mini-Problem**
+- Define "ideal final result" (IFR): system achieves goal with minimal change
+- Formulate mini-problem: "Element X, using available resources, must provide [desired effect] without [harmful effect]"
+
+**Step 3: Physical Contradiction**
+- Identify conflicting requirements on single element
+- Example: "Element must be hard (for strength) AND soft (for flexibility)"
+
+**Step 4: Separate Contradictions**
+Four separation principles:
+- **In space:** Hard in one location, soft in another
+- **In time:** Hard during use, soft during installation
+- **Upon condition:** Hard under load, soft when relaxed
+- **Between system levels:** Hard at macro level, soft at micro level
+
+**Step 5: Application of Resources**
+- What substances are available? (in system, nearby, environment, products/derivatives)
+- What fields are available? (waste heat, vibration, gravity, pressure)
+- How can cheap/free resources substitute for expensive ones?
+
+**Step 6: Apply Substance-Field Model**
+- Model current state
+- Identify incomplete or harmful models
+- Apply standard solutions
+
+**Step 7: Apply TRIZ Principles**
+- If not solved yet, use contradiction matrix
+- Try 2-3 most relevant principles
+
+**Step 8: Analyze Solution**
+- Does it achieve IFR?
+- What new problems arise?
+- Can solution be generalized to other domains?
+
+### ARIZ Example (Abbreviated)
+
+**Problem:** Bike lock must be strong (resist cutting) but lightweight (portable)
+
+**Step 1:** Goal = secure bike, Resources = lock material, bike frame, environment
+
+**Step 2:** IFR = Lock secures bike without added weight. Mini-problem: Lock, using available resources, must resist cutting without being heavy.
+
+**Step 3:** Physical contradiction - Lock material must be thick/strong (resist cutting) AND thin/light (reduce weight)
+
+**Step 4:** Separation - In space (strong in critical area only), Upon condition (hard when attacked, normal otherwise)
+
+**Step 5:** Resources - Can we use bike frame itself? Environment (anchor to heavy object)?
+
+**Step 6:** Substance-field - Add alarm field (makes cutting detectable even if lock is light)
+
+**Step 7:** TRIZ - Principle #40 (composite materials): Use hardened steel inserts in lightweight frame. Principle #2 (taking out): Secure bike to immovable object, lock just prevents separation.
+
+**Step 8:** Solution - Lightweight cable with selective hardening + alarm. Achieves security without excessive weight.

+
+## 4. Combining Morphological Analysis + TRIZ
+
+### When to Combine
+
+**Use case:** Complex system with multiple parameters (morphological) AND contradictions within configurations (TRIZ)
+
+### Process
+
+**Step 1:** Build morphological box for overall system architecture
+
+**Step 2:** Identify promising parameter combinations (3-5 configurations)
+
+**Step 3:** For each configuration, identify embedded contradictions
+- Does this configuration create any trade-offs?
+- Which parameters conflict within this configuration?
+
+**Step 4:** Apply TRIZ to resolve contradictions within each configuration
+- Use TRIZ principles to eliminate trade-offs
+- Improve configurations to be non-compromise solutions
+
+**Step 5:** Re-evaluate configurations now that contradictions are resolved
+- Configurations that were inferior due to contradictions may now be viable
+
+### Example: Designing Portable Speaker
+
+**Morphological Parameters:**
+- Power: Battery | Solar | Wall plug | Hybrid
+- Size: Pocket | Handheld | Tabletop | Floor
+- Audio tech: Mono | Stereo | Surround | Spatial
+- Material: Plastic | Metal | Wood | Fabric
+- Price tier: Budget | Mid | Premium | Luxury
+
+**Configuration 1: Pocket + Battery + Stereo + Plastic + Mid**
+- Contradiction: Pocket size (small) vs Stereo (needs speaker separation for stereo imaging)
+- TRIZ Solution: Principle #17 (another dimension) - Use beamforming or psychoacoustic processing to create virtual stereo from single driver
+
+**Configuration 2: Tabletop + Solar + Surround + Wood + Premium**
+- Contradiction: Solar (needs light, outdoor) vs Wood (damages in weather)
+- TRIZ Solution: Principle #30 (flexible shell) - Protective cover deploys when outdoors, retracts indoors
+
+**Outcome:** Both configurations now viable without compromises
+
+---
+
+## 5. Multi-Contradiction Problems
+
+### Challenge
+Real systems often have multiple contradictions that interact.
+
+### Approach
+
+**Step 1: Map all contradictions**
+```
+Contradiction 1: Improve A → worsens B
+Contradiction 2: Improve C → worsens D
+Contradiction 3: Improve A → worsens D
+...
+```
+
+**Step 2: Identify primary contradiction**
+- Which contradiction, if resolved, eliminates or eases others?
+- Which contradiction is most critical to success?
+
+**Step 3: Resolve primary contradiction first**
+- Apply TRIZ principles
+- Generate solution concepts
+
+**Step 4: Check if resolving primary affects secondary contradictions**
+- Did solution eliminate secondary contradictions?
+- Did solution worsen secondary contradictions?
+
+**Step 5: Resolve remaining contradictions**
+- Apply TRIZ to each remaining contradiction
+- Check for conflicts between solutions
+
+**Step 6: Integrate solutions**
+- Can multiple TRIZ principles be combined?
+- Are there synergies between solutions?
+
+### Example: Electric Vehicle Design
+
+**Contradictions:**
+1. Improve range → worsens cost (large battery expensive)
+2. Improve acceleration → worsens range (high power drains battery)
+3. Improve safety → worsens weight (reinforcement adds mass)
+4. Reduce weight → worsens safety (less structure)
+
+**Primary:** Range vs Cost (most critical for market adoption)
+
+**TRIZ Solutions:**
+- Principle #6 (universality): Battery also serves as structural element (improves range without added weight/cost)
+- Principle #35 (parameter change): Use different battery chemistry (higher energy density)
+
+**Secondary contradictions affected:**
+- Weight reduced (battery is structure) → helps safety-weight contradiction
+- Can now afford stronger materials with weight/cost savings
+
+**Integrated solution:** Structural battery pack with high energy density cells

+## Quick Decision Trees
+
+### "Should I use morphological analysis or TRIZ?"
+
+```
+Do I have clearly defined parameters with discrete options?
+├─ YES → Is there a performance trade-off/contradiction?

+│   └─ NO → Use morphological analysis only
+└─ NO → Do I have "improve A worsens B" situation?
+    ├─ YES → Use TRIZ only
+    └─ NO → Neither applies; use other innovation methods
+```
+
+### "Which TRIZ technique should I use?"
+
+```
+Is problem well-defined with clear contradiction?
+├─ YES → Use contradiction matrix + principles (template.md)
+└─ NO → Is problem complex/ambiguous?
+    ├─ YES → Use ARIZ algorithm (Section 3)
+    └─ NO → Model as substance-field (Section 2)
+```
+
+### "How many TRIZ principles should I try?"
+
+```
+Did first principle fully solve contradiction?
+├─ YES → Done, move to evaluation
+└─ NO → Try 2-3 principles recommended by matrix
