System and method to customize the facilitation of development of user thinking about an arbitrary problem
First Claim
1. One or more computer readable media having processor executable instructions for implementing a system for customized facilitation of user thinking about an arbitrary problem, comprising:
- logic to facilitate user specification of at least one problem to populate a problem statement structure;
logic to facilitate user specification of at least one conclusion, related to at least one problem specification, to populate a conclusion statement structure;
logic to facilitate user specification of knowledge, related to at least one of the problem specification and the conclusion specification, to populate a knowledge structure;
Control logic to persuade user interaction with the problem facilitation, conclusion facilitation, and knowledge facilitation logic to a sequence of interactions within a predefined set of interaction sequences, wherein the predefined set of interactions define an archetype process for user thinking about the problem;
Customization logic to modify at least one of the facilitation of user specification, facilitation of problem specification, facilitation of conclusion specification, facilitation of knowledge specification, interactions, sequences of interactions, interaction sequences, display and output, or any combination thereof, to provide a customized archetype process for user thinking about the problem;
At least one of logic to display, logic to store and logic to output at least a subset of the resulting user structure, or any combination thereof.

Abstract
Preferred embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for customizing the facilitation of development of user thinking about an arbitrary problem. The system includes first logic to facilitate user specification of a problem structure, second logic to facilitate user specification of a conclusion structure, third logic to facilitate specification of a knowledge structure, related to the arbitrary problem. Some embodiments of the system further include customization logic to accomplish customized or specialized facilitation as in the provisioning of a customized or specialized process for the user. Other embodiments further include customization or specialization of the structure for the user and in some embodiments, customization of the system output.
