Season's Greetings and A Happy and Peaceful New Year
Dear TRIZ Leaders/colleagues,

Toru Nakagawa (OGU / WTSP Project Leader)
Hello, How are you, your family, and people in your country?
I have updated "TRIZ Home Page in Japan" on Jan. 16 in English, (on last Dec. 10 and Jan. 14 in Japanese),
https://www.osaka-gu.ac.jp/php/nakagawa/TRIZ/eTRIZ/

[1] From the "Four-Box Scheme of Abstraction" in Science and Technology to the "Six-Box Scheme" for Creative Problem
Solving (Toru Nakagawa)
This paper has been presented in Japanese at the Conference of Japan Creativity Society on Oct. 3, 2021.
A full set of records (paper (8 pages), slides, and video), have been posted in Japanese on Dec. 10, 2021.
(Brief introduction in English is posted on Jan. 16, 2022).
I have shown:
(a) "Four-Box Scheme of Abstraction" is the basic paradigm in science and technology in general, but it is not
applicable to creative problem solving.
(b) Conventional researches and applications of Creativity Methods have been working in various approaches being
confused without finding a suitable paradigm.
(c) TRIZ and USIT have prepared for the transition to the new paradigm for Creative Problem Solving.
(d) The "Six-Box Scheme" obtained through TRIZ/USIT is found to be the new basic paradigm for Creative Problem Solving.
The figure (attached) illustrates "Four-Box Scheme" and "Six-Box Scheme" side by side.
"Four-Box Scheme" has been used in every area of science and technology.
However, its processes, i.e., abstraction, reasoning, and concretization, cannot be explained in general without using examples.
On the other hand, "Six-Box Scheme" illustrates the skeletal process to be followed when trying to solve a new problem/
issue ("creative problem solving").
For each step of the process, many general theories and methods are already known for guiding users.
It is this "framework", or basic paradigm or guiding principle, that has to be revealed so far.
It can guide all the important work in Research and Development and in various Innovations.
I realized and proposed this "Six-Box Scheme" 16 years ago in 2005 .
We hope the new paradigm become widely known and effectively applied in Japan and all over the world.
[2] Message for the New Year 2022 (Toru Nakagawa)
On the start of New Year 2022, I wish you all the year be healthy, happy, successful, and the World be peaceful and
recovering from the pandemic.
(My New Year Card are shown in Japanese and in English in the Web site.)
[3] Papers by Toshio Takahara (The 6th Collection) (2020 -2021): (Collection of 19 papers) (Toshio TAKAHARA)
"TRIZ Home Page in Japan" has recognized much the importance of Mr. Toshio Takahara's research work and has been collecting
and posting all his academic works since 2003.
This English page is the brief introduction to the Japanese pages of "the 6th Collection of Toshio Takahara's Papers"
covering 19 papers ([55] through [66], and [62A] through [62G]).
The book [62] "Never-Finished Notes on Philosophy" (17th Edition, Oct. 2021) is his principal work at the present stage.
It has 144 pages in B5 size.
I have posted it in 8 web pages [62A] through [62G] in HTML.
In its First Part ([62B]-[62F]) the author describes how to view the world logically and how to think for changing things,
and he has re-created the Dialectic Logic and applied it to consider the Way of Life.
In Second Part [62G], he proposes to prepare for shifting the world toward 'Post-Capitalism, where money is no longer the only
Value' in one-hundred or one-thousand years in future.
It is really a big vision.
He also discusses on the issues of politics, society, education, etc. on the basis of his deep and radical thinking.
Nakagawa is responding to him at the Editor's Post-Note of [62G].
The figure (attached) conceptually illustrates the structures (and transitions) of the themes the author has been discussing for these two decades since 2003.
I am sure that The Collection of Takahara's Papers serves now and will serve in future ages for students and professionals
to understand the new logics and the way of life. (English translation is a so big job for us to do in future.)
Let's work Together ! Connected !!
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Best wishes.
Toru

Dear TRIZ Colleagues and WTSP Members, 25 December, 2021,
Toru Nakagawa (OGU, WTSP Project Leader)
Season's Greetings and A Happy and Peaceful New Year
for you, your family, and all the people in the world.
The photo attached I took last March at a lake in my home city.
It was a very windy morning. A swan was swimming against
the wind and waves towards the Sun.
She may be the symbol of ourselves, our works,
all our people, and our world, in the very severe time.
In the coming year it will be very windy, but not stormy we pray,
and we will certainly go forward to the Sun together with you all.
Thanking you and wishing you your health, happiness, and success in the New Year,
Sincerely,
Toru
Hello, How are you, your family, and people in your country?
Since my last announcement (Sept. 16), I have updated my website, "TRIZ Home Page in Japan", three times:
http://www.osaka-gu.ac.jp/php/nakagawa/TRIZ/eTRIZ/
[1] WTSP Appeal 2021 and WTSP Paper at ETRIA TFC 2021 (T. Nakagawa, D. Mann,M. Orloff, S. Dewulf, S. Litvin, V. Souchkov)
[2] Internet Surveys of TRIZ Sites in 39 Countries
[3] Re-Imagining The Contradiction Matrix: Matrix 2022 (Darrell Mann)
-----------------------------------------------
[1] WTSP Appeal 2021 and WTSP Paper at ETRIA TFC 2021 "World WTSP Catalogs of TRIZ Sites and Around-TRIZ Sites,
Let's Make Them Attractive and Useful !" (Toru Nakagawa, Darrell Mann, Michael Orloff, Simon Dewulf, Simon Litvin, Valeri Souchkov)
This page posts our WTSP paper presented at ETRIA TFC2021, which was held on Sept. 22 - 24, 2021 online organized by
Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy.
(A) Slides/video:
The Conference requested video presentations for only 5 minutes.
Thus we made "WTSP Appeal 2021" with 8 slides and video record of 5 min 29 sec.
They are posted in my website in .html, .pdf, and .mp4. The first and the last slides are attached below.
(Note: We also gave a presentation at Japan TRIZ Symposium (Sept. 2-3, 2021). 22 slides in English may be of some help
for you English readers.)
(B) Paper:
The paper we submitted on Jun. 29 was published in the Proceedings and is posted in our website in .html and in .pdf.
[2] Internet Surveys (4th round) of TRIZ Sites in Individual
Countries ==> 39 Countries + 3 language groups (Toru Nakagawa) Following 8 countries are added in the Survey lists (Oct. 7):
Pakistan (11 sites) , Sri Lanka (6) , Bangladesh (3) , Vietnam (24), Singapore (15), Philippines (11), Hong Kong (16), Indonesia (37)
[3] "Matrix 2022: Re-Imagining The Contradiction Matrix" Darrell Mann, paper presented at ETRIA TFC2021.
Posted here in English and in Japanese (Oct. 14, 2021)
I read the paper the day before the TFC presentation and was amazed with its contents.
I asked the author and got the permission to translate the paper into Japanese and to post it here both in Japanese and in English.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the author.
As you know well, the author, Darrell Mann, analyzed patents all over the world and greatly improved the TRIZ Contradiction
Matrix into Matrix2003 and then into Matrix2010.
He has been continuing his patent-analysis research project at Systematic Innovation.
This paper describes his latest developments:
(1) The "impact" of the contradiction solution (not only the impact on the current situation, but also the impact to be
expected in future) is estimated and used as one of the criteria for recommending the inventive principles.
(2) For each case of the matrix cell, all the 40 inventive principles are plotted on a two-dimensional graph of
usage frequency vs impact.
(3) For each case of the matrix cell, frequently-used combinations of the inventive principles are shown.
(4) For the cases of conflicts not only between two parameters (dilemma), but also among three (trilemma), and among much
more (even in "complicated" and in "complex" situations), an new algorithm has been developed to recommend inventive principles.
(5) For implementing all these features, Matrix2022 has been developed newly in the form of an interactive app.

Looking forward to hearing from you,
Best wishes.
