### *Example Input Text:*

You are tasked with analyzing a sudden shift in customer preferences in a tech market. There has been a noticeable decline in demand for physical devices, with customers increasingly interested in digital-only options. The challenge is to understand this shift, generate hypotheses for why it might be occurring, and explore potential strategies for adapting to this new trend.

---

### *Processed Output with System 1 and System 2 Thinking:*

The tech market is experiencing a shift in customer demand, moving away from physical devices toward digital-only options.

[sys1]
Customer demand has shifted from physical devices to digital-only options.
We need to understand why this change is happening and find strategies to address it.
Key factors may include cost, convenience, and technological trends.
[end sys1]

[sys2]
**2.1 Understand the Problem:**
The goal is to understand the underlying reasons for the shift in demand from physical devices to digital-only options, then develop a strategy to adapt.

*Reflection:* 
"I understand that preferences are changing, but what might be driving this? Is it primarily cost, or are there other factors such as convenience or sustainability?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Could there be a larger trend in digital minimalism or a preference for eco-friendly solutions that we’re missing? What unseen motivations might explain this shift?"

**2.2 Analyze the Information:**
There are multiple possible factors driving this shift, from economic influences to cultural shifts. It’s essential to isolate each factor and understand its impact.

*Reflection:* 
"Am I fully considering the various economic and social influences? Could there be a technological factor, like better internet speeds, that makes digital-only products more accessible?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Are there patterns or trends in other markets that could shed light on this shift? Could this be part of a larger trend toward virtual experiences?"

**2.3 Generate Hypotheses:**
1. Customers prefer digital options due to lower costs. (Confidence: 0.8, Creative: 0.4)
2. There’s a growing trend toward minimalism and reduced physical clutter. (Confidence: 0.7, Creative: 0.7)
3. Digital products offer greater flexibility and ease of use. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.6)
4. Environmental concerns are pushing consumers away from physical goods. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.8)
5. Advances in tech make digital-only options more functional. (Confidence: 0.8, Creative: 0.5)
6. Pandemic-era remote work increased demand for digital solutions. (Confidence: 0.7, Creative: 0.6)
7. Media coverage of the environmental impact of physical devices affects preferences. (Confidence: 0.5, Creative: 0.7)
8. There’s an increase in global digital literacy, expanding market access. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.6)
9. Customers view digital as more convenient and scalable for future needs. (Confidence: 0.7, Creative: 0.5)
10. Younger consumers prefer the aesthetics and convenience of digital products. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.6)

*Reflection:* 
"Have I considered all possible influences? Are there any surprising factors that could explain this shift?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Could specific social trends, like the rise of influencer culture or digital-first lifestyles, be influencing customer choices?"

**2.4 Anticipate Future Steps and Obstacles:**
*Objective:* Anticipate possible challenges, such as resistance from segments still preferring physical products.

*Reflection:* 
"What market obstacles might we face if we shift our focus to digital-only? Are there sub-segments that still prioritize physical products?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Could expanding digital options help us reach a more global audience? Are there emerging trends that we could leverage in our strategy?"

[end sys2]

[sys1]
To address this shift, consider a strategy that incorporates both digital-only offerings and educational campaigns about the benefits of digital solutions.
Use insights from customer feedback and current trends to guide product development.
Focus on flexibility and adaptation to cater to different customer segments.

WINDSOR, England — America has a new princess.

Los Angeles native Meghan Markle joined hands with Britain’s Prince Harry Saturday as they pledged to “honor and protect” each other in marriage after a 15-month romance. They later shared a kiss on the steps outside the chapel.

Wearing a tiara and a flowing white dress, the former "Suits" star began her latest role at a ceremony that brought modern soul to the traditional pomp and pageantry of a royal wedding.

As the couple stood inside St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, a gospel choir sang Ben E. King’s “Stand by Me.”

With their vows, the couple adopted their new official title, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

The historic moment was witnessed by 600 guests — including Oprah Winfrey, George and Amal Clooney and Elton John — a flag-waving crowd of around 100,000 outside, and millions of TV viewers around the world.

The crowd cheered wildly as the bride began her long walk down the aisle in a dress designed by Clare Waight Keller, who last year became the first female artistic director at the French fashion house Givenchy.

As she reached the altar, Harry bit his lip and told her: "You look amazing."

The Most Rev. Michael Bruce Curry, the presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church who hails from Chicago, gave a lively address quoting Martin Luther King Jr. on the "redemptive power of love."

Turning to the couple, he joked: “We gotta get y’all married.”

A few feet away were two women: Doria Ragland, the bride’s mother who works as a yoga instructor and social worker in California, and Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-serving British monarch. The actress' father, Thomas Markle, was too sick to attend.

The scenes would have been unthinkable in royal circles until recently. The last time an American married a British royal was in 1936. Wallis Simpson’s status as divorcee caused a scandal that led King Edward VIII to abdicate.

The new princess is not only a divorcee but, in her own words, a "strong, confident mixed-race woman.” While hardly a revolution in 2018, her arrival brings diversity to her new extended family and she has been warmly embraced by the British public. In a break with tradition, she often hugs people she meets.

The couple also invited 2,640 members of the public to the castle's grounds, including local children and community leaders.

"They want to share their happiness with the public," said Roya Nikkhah, royal correspondent for The Sunday Times. The couple “want to be seen as open, not elitist, modern,” she said.

The American royal, who visited Buckingham Palace as tourist while a teenager, sang along to “God Save the Queen” as the ceremony drew to a close.

The 15th-century St. George’s Chapel, whose vaulted ceilings and stained-glass windows make it one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in England, echoed with the song “This Little Light of Mine” by Etta James as the newlyweds departed, pausing on the steps for a kiss.

The royal newlyweds then took a trip through Windsor in a horse-drawn carriage, to the delight of thousands of well-wishers who gathered in the late spring sunshine.

Harry, who served in the army for 10 years and rose to the rank of captain while completing two tours in Afghanistan, wore the ceremonial uniform of the Blues and Royals army regiment.

Markle did not have a maid of honor because, as the palace explained, she couldn't choose between her close friends. However, the couple have chosen 10 bridesmaids and pageboys, including Harry's nephew, Prince George, and niece, Princess Charlotte.

In a nod to Markle’s American roots, the couple's cake was made by an American baker based in London, Claire Ptak, who had previously appeared on Markle’s lifestyle blog, The Tig. The ink used on the formal invitations was also from the U.S.

Since their engagement, the couple has toured the U.K., visiting cities in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Markle has been welcomed into royal circles, accompanying Harry to family functions including Christmas with the queen at her country retreat in Sandringham, Norfolk, and the Commonwealth Day ceremony at Westminster Abbey where she sat in the row behind the queen.

In the future, they are expected to continue Harry’s charity work, much of which is done jointly with his brother, Prince William, and William's wife, the former Kate Middleton, including their Heads Together campaign promoting mental health. The two couples have been affectionately dubbed the "fab four" by Britain's media.

Markle becomes a princess automatically by marrying Harry. As she was not born a royal, her title as princess becomes her husband's name, so she'll formally be known as Her Royal Highness Princess Henry of Wales.
