instructions to persuade multiple user interactions with at least one of the facilitations to a set of interactions within a predefined set of interaction sequences, wherein the predefined set of interactions define an archetype process for user thinking about at least one arbitrary problem;
Customization instructions 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, components of the user model, display and output, or any combination thereof, to provide a customized archetype process for user thinking about the problem;
At least one of instructions to display, instructions to store and instructions to output at least a subset of at least one resulting user structure, or any combination thereof;
instructions to allow at least one user to share the at least one of display, stored, or output of at least a subset of a resulting user structure with at least one other user.

Abstract
Preferred embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for facilitating multiple users or teams or a group of users or individual users in the development of user thinking about an arbitrary problem in a customized or specialized manner. The system includes logic to facilitate user specification of a problem structure, or a conclusion, or both, and facilitation of specification of a knowledge structure, related to the arbitrary problem. Some embodiments of the systems and methods further provide for the sharing of user models regarding the arbitrary problem.
