Evolution Mechanism
19
A process of passing traits from one generation to the next, while
introducing mild changes, aiming to improve Adaptation
The process is based on a combination of these elements:
1. Variety
2. Competition over resources
3. Selection

Ideality
Law of Idealization:
Systems evolve towards increased ideality
Performing the Function with no Cost and no Harm
V = Value
F = Functionality
C = Cost (Resources + Harmful)
Ideal system – should appear at necessary moment in necessary place, to do 100% of work

Innovation Strategy
Scenario 1 The Environment is changing slower than the rate of introducing
new generation
Typical Strategy:
Introduce as many as possible new versions, the “Natural
Selection” will present the winner
Scenario 2 The Environment is changing faster than the rate of introducing
new generation
Typical Strategy:
Introduce small number of highly versatile new versions

Genrich S. Altshuller - TRIZ
Based on patents research
“There is regularity and repeated patterns in
invention”
1. 99.7% of inventions used known solutions principle
2. Solutions patterns are universal across different areas
3. Evolution of man-made systems is governed by certain
regularities and trends
