Dear TRIZ Colleagues and WTSP Members, 11 April, 2022,
Toru Nakagawa (OGU, WTSP Project Leader)
[WTSP] Letter: (29M-1AB) 3 Photos + Enhancing WTSP Catalogs
Hello, How are you, your family, and people in your country? 
I have updated "TRIZ Home Page in Japan" today in English.
https://www.osaka-gu.ac.jp/php/nakagawa/TRIZ/eTRIZ/
-----------------------------------------------
I updated "TRIZ Home Page in Japan" on Apr. 1 and Apr. 11, and posted its report in LinkedIn on Apr. 12.
(1) Here I attach 3 photos (which I posted in my HP).
One for the people of Ukraine, and two more of Cherry blossoms in Tokyo.
(2) The PDF file is my posting in LinkedIn (especially addressed
to the "TRIZ and Innovation" group having over 17,000 members).
Updating the World WTSP Catalogs of Around-TRIZ Sites:
Surveys for the sites of Creative Thinking (TN3A2) and Creative Problem Solving (TN3B).
As I wrote in the article, I am now working to update
the other 3 survey cases (TN3C, TN3D, TN3E) of Around-TRIZ sites.
We wish to have 3 types of pioneers for making the WTSP
Catalogs (especially of TRIZ sites) more Useful and Attractive.
(a) Who read and use the World WTSP Catalogs (in any part)
and send us comments/suggestions.
(b) Who work in a Country/SIG Team to list up recommendable websites, to write brief
introductions to them, to ask site-owners to write introductions of their own sites,
and to edit the Country/SIG part of the World WTSP Catalogs.
(c) Who write introductions of their own websites.

we have ◎ 5 sites, ○ (and ○□）24 sites, □ (and □△)50 sites, and deleted (△ and −) 17 sites.

(Creative/innovative/Systematic) Problem Solve (Method/Process/Technique); Language: English;
Location: any.Aer updating: we have ◎ (and ◎○) 12 sites, ○ (and ○□）32 sites,□ (and □△) 47 sites, and deleted (△ and −) 11 sites.
See the updated TN3B Catalog.Descriptions of individual sites are enhanced.
In cases of multiple listing of a site, duplicated items are marked L(meaning: Listed elsewhere) at the Evaluation and refer the Site Code having site description.
There are many excellent websites from which we, users and professionals and interested in TRIZ or other methods, can learn a lot.
The sites newly evaluated as ○ (or higher) levels are listed above in the Top Figure.
I am going to work on the 3 le big survey cases (TN3C, TN3D,TN3E) for Around‐TRIZ sites for myself.
Best wishes.
Toru

Dear TRIZ Colleagues and WTSP Members, 19 February, 2022,

Six-Box Scheme for Creative Problem Solving (Nakagawa)
Hello, How are you, your family, and people in your country?
I have updated "TRIZ Home Page in Japan" today in English.
https://www.osaka-gu.ac.jp/php/nakagawa/TRIZ/eTRIZ/
-----------------------------------------------
[1] "Six-Box Scheme" for Creative Problem Solving in place of the "Four-Box Scheme of Abstraction"
in Science and Technology (Toru Nakagawa)
Here I rephrased the title of my original paper:
From the "Four-Box Scheme of Abstraction" in Science and Technology to the "Six-Box Scheme" for Creative Problem Solving
The paper has been presented in Japanese at Japan Creativity Society Conference on Oct. 3, 2021.
A full set of records (paper, slides, and video) were posted in Japanese on Dec. 10, 2021.
In English I posted a brief introduction and sent you an email announcement on Jan. 16, 2022.
English edition of the paper and the presentation slides are now posted both in HTML and in PDF in the Home Page.
Abstract of the paper is: Science and technology have the "Four-Box Scheme of
Abstraction" as the basic paradigm, and solve problems by applying them to models (theories) established in every field.
This is not effective for "Creative Problem Solving", where a new way of thinking (theory) itself is to be found.
Thus, various researches on "Creativity Methods" for Creative Problem Solving have made different approaches without a basic paradigm.
Among them, TRIZ and USIT have prepared for a new development.
The author introduced both of them, integrated the huge TRIZ into the concise USIT, and from the data-flow representation
of the USIT process obtained the "Six-Box Scheme".
Having shown many TRIZ/USIT problem solving cases in the "Six-Box Scheme", he is advocating the Scheme as a new
"Basic Paradigm of Creative Problem Solving".
Now that the Scheme has established the problem-solving process in the "Thinking World", the diversity of problem
situations in the "Real World" is the focus of research in future.
It would be meaningful to examine various Creativity Methods and reposition and integrate them in the "Six-Box Scheme".
Two figures are attached here for clarifying the points.
(1) "Four-Box Scheme" and "Six-Box Scheme" side by side.
-- I sent you this figure in my last email as well.
(2) Position of the "Six-Box Scheme" in the Real World.
-- The process of Creative Problem Solving is now pretty well guided with the "Six-Box Scheme",
and our research has to deal with a huge variety of issues we have in the "Real World",
I recognized and proposed this "Six-Box Scheme" 16 years ago, and my understanding
has become clearer and more convincing year after year.
The new paradigm will become widely known and effectively applied to a
wide variety of issues all over the world.
Let's work Together ! Connected !!
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Best wishes.
Toru
