Abstract

In this chapter, we will explore the main ideas of the stages of system evolution. Genrich Altshuller defined four major system evolution stages ((Altshuller 1996; Bukhman 2012). The first stage is the selection of parts from existing systems for the new system. During the second stage, these selected parts are developed specifically for the new system. The third stage is the dynamization of the system. The fourth stage is characterized by a transition to self-control and self-develop the system.
