Inventions, Algorithms, and Biological Design

This paper outlines a new model for understanding biological invention, based upon an extensive study of human inventiveness originating in Russia shortly after the Second World War. This science, known as the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving and referred to by the Russian acronym TRIZ, relies upon the study of human patents to reveal general principles of invention. TRIZ recognizes two dist...
