Intelligent use of this 39 x 39 Matrix delivers a subset of the 40 Principles solution triggers, to guide us to resolve technical contradictions. Each axis comprises the 39 Engineering Parameters.
When resolving a contradiction (good and bad outputs) the good (what gets better) is referenced on the vertical axis, while its downside (what gets worse) is on the horizontal axis. Where they intersect shows which of the 40 Inventive Principles will help tackle this particular contradiction. The matrix was created from patent research into successful in overcoming contradictions and references how they were solved.
