TRIZ ( /ˈtriːz/; Russian: теория решения изобретательских задач, teoriya resheniya izobretatelskikh zadatch) is "a problem-solving, analysis and forecasting tool derived from the study of patterns of invention in the global patent literature". It was developed by the Soviet inventor and science fiction author Genrich Altshuller and his colleagues, beginning in 1946. In English the name is typically rendered as "the theory of inventive problem solving", and occasionally goes by the English acronym TIPS.
Following Altshuller's insight, the theory developed on a foundation of extensive research covering hundreds of thousands of inventions across many different fields to produce a theory which defines generalisable patterns in the nature of inventive solutions and the distinguishing characteristics of the problems that these inventions have overcome.
An important part of the theory has been devoted to revealing patterns of evolution and one of the objectives which has been pursued by leading practitioners of TRIZ has been the development of an algorithmic approach to the invention of new systems, and the refinement of existing ones.
A noite cai como um presságio, um sonho, uma visão (o princípio)
Os carros que ainda passam dissolvem a tensão
Mas não são eternos
Mergulhado no silêncio, a mente a gritar (pensamentos...)
Os sonhos não movem pedras, não saem do seu lugar
Nem estão do meu lado
Os minutos - são eternos - subtraem minha paz
Mas, embora a vida passe e as noites fiquem para trás,
Os dias não vão surgir...
Observo minha sombra, inerte a imaginar (mais vertigens)
E algo dentro do meu peito consome devagar
Os meus horizontes
No relógio foge o tempo, o sonho aos poucos se desfaz
E eu trancado assim, por dentro, quase imóvel e incapaz
De ver para onde ir
Porém algo dentro de mim sabe onde vou chegar
Ou acreditar, ou me entregar
Vou chegar ou não?
