Physical Contradictions: Solving Or Managing?

Darrell Mann

“No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.” Albert Einstein

For me, the physical contradiction part of TRIZ/SI still remains the weakest part of the toolkit. Something has been niggling … Read More

Re-Thinking Physical Contradictions #2: Business Problems

Darrell Mann

It feels like a long time ago, because – embarrassingly – it was a long time ago. April 2017 to be precise, and Issue 181 of this ezine, was the place where we started our re-think of the … Read More

Physical Contradictions & 27 Windows

Darrell Mann

The physical contradiction aspects of the TRIZ method have become something of an orphan relative to other parts of the toolkit. Other tools have had lots of care and attention devoted to their upkeep and evolution in a … Read More

Re-Thinking Physical Contradictions #1: Technical Problems

Darrell Mann

The least well evolved of all the TRIZ tools feels more and more like the Physical Contradiction story. The more time and energy we devote to updating the Contradiction Matrix tool, the more the Physical Contradiction part seems … Read More

TRIZ: Physical Contradictions with Skis

The following offers physical contradictions with TRIZ using the example of skis. Tools used include separating in time, space and structure, using phase transition and moving from current levels to sub or super levels.Read More

Evaporating Contradictions – Physical And/or Technical

Making a choice between a physical or technical contradiction is in itself another contradiction. When in any either/or discussion, the best answer is that a) we are asking the wrong question and b) adopting a both/and approach is preferable.Read More

Proposal of an object-oriented model of the physical contradiction to facilitate the problem-framing phase in design

Executive Summary

In this article, we present our study on the building of an object-oriented model to represent the physical contradiction. This model is based on the specification of objects, which are the basic elements of representation, rules linking the … Read More
