### *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.

Antoine de Schryver

Antoine Philippe De Schryver (1924–2005) was a Belgian art historian and professor at the University of Ghent, where he lectured on History of Book Illumination. He was specialized in the field of illuminated manuscripts in the Southern Netherlands, 15th century painting, and artists at the Burgundian Court.

Education and career
Antoine De Schryver was born in Lochristi on 27 March 1924. He studied art history and archeology at the University of Ghent and obtained his degree in 1950. From 1951, he worked as a scientific assistant at the Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage. Between 1953 and 1955, he was a candidate for the National Fund for Scientific Research, obtaining his doctoral degree in art history and archeology in 1957. In addition, he was appointed as curator of the Museum of Archeology in Ghent in that same year. He would carry out this function until 1971.

Throughout the 1950s, De Schryver obtained a number of travel scholarships, amongst which The National Trust Princess Marie-José (1951), The Belgian-Dutch Cultural Treaty (1951), and a number of the Commission mixte des échanges culturels franco-belges scholarships (1952, 1953, 1956). In 1960, De Schryver succeeded the late Frédéric Lyna as lecturer on History of Book Illumination at the University of Ghent. In addition, he succeeded the late Herman Bouchery as director of the National Centre of the History and Archeology of Books, in that same year. In 1965, he became a member of the Royal Academy of Archeology of Belgium. At this academy, he was general secretary from 1975 till 1977, vice secretary between 1979 and 1981, and chairman from 1981 till 1983. In 1984, he became a member of the Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science and the Arts.

As an art historian, De Schryver had a broad field of interest, publishing mainly on illuminated manuscripts in the Southern Netherlands, 15th century painting, and artists at the Burgundian Court. In the early 1950s, he co-authored two publications on the Ghent Altarpiece with Roger Marijnissen and Paul B. Coremans. In 1957, he defended his doctoral dissertation concerning miniaturists at the court of Charles the Bold. Furthermore, De Schryver published a study on the Hours of Mary of Burgundy, which he managed to attribute to Lieven van Lathem and the Ghent calligrapher Nicolas Spierinc. The same team collaborated on the Prayer Book of Charles the Bold, acquired in 1989 by the J. Paul Getty Museum. Upon his emeritate, De Schryver was commissioned by the Museum to write a monograph on this manuscript. The final version of the text was completed in 2004, but was only published after De Schryver's death on 9 March 2005.

The archives of De Schryver are kept by Illuminare - Centre for the Study of Medieval Art (KU Leuven), a university-led research and documentation centre. In 2005, Illuminare, with the assistance of Dr. Dominique Vanwijnsberghe, managed to acquire his archives. De Schryver left behind approximately 75 meters of text, including books, magazines, assorted documentation, slides, and pictures. His library was split up in 2006 between the libraries of the KU Leuven. His documentation, however, along with his slides and pictures, remained in Illuminare in its entirety.
