Edited by A. Sokol

"This material is meant to be the first step for those who desire to reach a more profound understanding of the theoretical foundations of TRIZ and OTSM, as well as to learn to employ their instruments with ease for the broadest range of purposes.  It may be helpful to one studying the modern condition of OTSM-TRIZ on the stages of reflecting upon and systematizing the mastered material" (from the paper).

This article is based on the last draft of the “Axioms of the General Theory of Strong Thinking” which was planned as part of a modular training aid in OTSM and was edited by the author till December 2009. To ease apprehension, unfinished parts dedicated to examples, answers to questions and partially to comments, as well as appendices dedicated to training and definition of the "axiom" notion in dictionaries where removed. The full text of the draft is published as a separate material on this site.  

This material is kept in a separate file in the archive. It consists of two parts:

1)      the first finished 1997 version of axioms (this version was demonstrated to G.S. Altshuller who, as a result, allowed Nikolai to use the term "OTSM" in his works;

2)      the modified version which is close to the last version (2004).
