Research Abstract

The purpose of this study is to propose a methodology to store natural laws in a computer for supporting inventions and developments of artifacts.
Last year, we studies a representation scheme for describing the natural laws in an opera table way for a computer and have formulated the scheme. This scheme is described as a combination of the constraints on the way of viewing things and the constraints on the behavior of things using the unified physical quantities.
This year, we have refined the scheme after studying 150 natural laws and have tried to describe technological inventions and developments as the combination of the processes of an engineer's enforcement, limitation, or integration of the viewpoints of things. Throughout this description, we could analyze the technological process and found this can be explained as the very complicated processes of changing the viewpoints.
