resources

Originally, resources are the environment of the problem. They are also part of the problem.

As told in the third postulate, "a good solution is a solution is a solution that involves as few new resources as possible".

So we have to check with the existing resources which of them can help us.

There are four types of resources. Each of them can be simple or combined.

These resources can be in different states:

    • solid

    • gas

    • plasma

The field resources

    • mechanical

    • thermal

    • chemical

    • electric

    • magnetic

One trick to memorize: MATHEM, for Mechanical, Acoustic Thermal Electric Magnetic

The time resources

    • before action

    • during action

    • after action

The space resources

    • Void

    • gap

    • spacing
