[1] Basic Theory:
The Fourth Collection of Papers Written by Toshio Takahara
(2016 - 2018) : "Theory of Resolving Differences (4)
Radical Enumerable Thinking and Contradiction Model
for the Way of Life"
(Toshio Takahara)
"TRIZ Home Page in Japan" has been publishing all the papers
presented by Toshio Takahara since 2003, resulting 47 papers
in total for these 15 years.
This 4th Collection covers all the 11 papers published by
the author from 2016 to 2018 in relation to TRIZ in a wider
sense.
Most of them are written in Japanese and some in English.
All the documents are posted here in PDF with links, and
some important ones are posted in HTML pages as well.
The author is trying to think over everything radically,
generally, and systematically for building his original
system of theories.
Thus he defines/re-defines various concepts and terms, which
make his theory not easy to understand for readers at first.
For getting introduced, you may read the introductions (or
Editor's note by Nakagawa) to the the Collection
(1)(2003-2007) , Collection (2)(2008-2012) , and
Collection (3)(2013-2015) of Takahara's Papers.
In English pages, the paper presented at FIT2016 was
published in Nov. 2016, and another presented at FIT2017 is
now posted separately.
The most important document in the 4th Collection is the
Working Research Note (2018), shown below in [2].
[2] "A Working Research Note on Philosophy (2018):
A Note on the Principle of Way of Life of Homo Sapiens
Based on Contradiction Model and Radical Enumerable Thinking " (Toshio Takahara)
Contributed to TRIZ Home Page in Japan on Apr. 12, 2018;
Revised on Jun. 13, 2018; Posted on Aug. 30, 2018.
Further revised on Sept. 16, 2018 and Posted on Oct. 10, 2018.
This is an up-to-date working research note written by
Toshio Takahara in Japanese for the purpose of describing
his system of theories as closely as possible.
Because of its big volume (over 80 pages), it is published
here in four parts besides a top page.
Abstract written by the author in English (in 5 pages) is
posted in HTML and in PDF
Concept of Radical Enumerable Thinking (RET) and
Contradictions (especially the Contradiction of Unity) are
his main methods for investigation.
His up-to-date understanding (in Mar. 2018) of these concepts
are described in Part 1 and Part 2.
Then in Part 3 he writes, Objectization (= analysis, seeing
objectively, individualization, liberty, criticism, etc.)
and Unification (= synthesis, taking subjectively,
integration, love, modesty, etc.) should be used repeatedly,
hierarchically, with nesting, etc. for the purpose of
Resolution of Differences (i.e., problem solving, task achieving, etc.).
And it forms the basis of our ways of living, he says.
He also writes often about the importance of understanding
the overview of human history (and its significance),
such as the significance of the beginning of barter, and
of agricultural revolution and industrial revolution as energy revolutions.
In its Part 4, he writes a preparatory discussion on post-capitalism.
The author describes his various insights clearly.

[5] Forum: Visiting Mr. Yasuyuki Takaguchi, ex-Chief Priest,
of Isshinji Temple in Osaka
(Yasuyuki Takaguchi, Toru Nakagawa)
On Sept. 9 and 10, I visited Mr. Yasuyuki Takaguchi,
ex-Chief Priest, of Isshinji Temple in Osaka City.
He is one of my best friends studying together at Koyo Gakuin,
Junior and Senior High School, in Nishinomiya City, Hyogo
Prefecture, playing (soft) tennis in a pair.
He studied Architecture at Kyoto University, and later
happened to become Chief Priest of Isshinji Temple (Jodo Shu
in Budhism), and worked as Professor at Nara Women University
and operated an office as the owner Architect, all at the same time.
Since he and I were working in different fields and living
in different areas in Japan, we did not have so much chances
of talking deeply even though we knew the hard working of each other.
In the visit this time, I re-recognized his personality and great achievements.
So I asked him to contribute a series of articles on his
thoughts, activities, and achievements, to TRIZ Home Page in Japan.
Please take a look at the photo attached here.
It shows the inside of a hall 'Sanzen-Butsu-Do', designed
and built by Rev. Takaguchi in 2002.
He writes:
"This Hall is built just outside of the traditional
Isshinji campus, facing to a public street and is open
everyday from 9:00 to 16:00 for everybody freely,
symbolizing an Open Temple.
You may encounter with (or be embraced by) Amida Butsu (in
the center) and Kannon Bosatsu and Seshi Bosatsu, who have
come to save you over the peaks of Himalayas.
I wanted to build a Budhist Hall with a brilliant chancel
and with sky lights coming down through a high ceiling window.
For designing such a Hall, I visited Budhist halls in India,
Islamic halls in Turkey, and Byzantine style Christian church
in Venice, etc. and extracted the atmosphere common to them."
When I stepped in, I gasped in wonder, and while sitting
quietly alone, I felt myself being purified.
Looking forward to seeing many of you again soon at ETRIA
TRIZ Future Conference (TFC2018) in Strasbourg, France.
Best wishes always,
Toru Nakagawa
