### *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:**

<p>
This is the API description for the OpenCms core, please read the <a href="#intro">introdution</a> below to learn 
about the packages and functions of the API that are intended to be used in OpenCms application development.
</p>

<h2>Introduction<a name="intro"> </a>to the OpenCms API</h2>

<p>
The OpenCms API contains several building blocks:
</p>

<ul>
<li>The document repository, called <i>Virtual File System</i> (or just <i>VFS</i>).</li>
<li>The JSP based templating system.</li>
<li>The module API.</li>
<li>The main runtime system.</li>
<li>Several utility classes, for example for mail transport or scheduling.</li>
<li>A number of low level database connetion methods.</li>
<li>The OpenCms Workplace implementation.</li>
</ul>

<p>
Not all packages defined in this API are considered "end user" API functions.
For example, to access the OpenCms repository you should use an initialized instance of the 
<code>{@link org.opencms.file.CmsObject}</code> class, and never access the database directly with SQL.
So the database functionalities in the <code>org.opencms.db</code> package are 
"low level" functions, used by the classes in the <code>org.opencms.file</code> package
but usually not directly by an application.
</p>

<h2>How to start developing OpenCms applications</h2>

<p>
Here are some basic pointers that should help you identify importants 
parts in this API documentation that are usually required in OpenCms application development:
</p>

<p>
You should start with the template functions provided in the <code>org.opencms.jsp</code> package.
This contains the OpenCms <code>&lt;cms:&gt;</code> taglib, as well as the <code>{@link org.opencms.jsp.CmsJspActionElement}</code> 
(for use with scriptlets). 
These allow you to easliy access the current users <code>{@link org.opencms.file.CmsObject}</code> from a JSP, 
and with this you can dynamically build OpenCms front end applications based on the users permissions.
</p>

<p>
For easy template navigation building, check out the methods <code>{@link org.opencms.jsp.CmsJspNavBuilder}</code>.
You can build full-blown OpenCms applications with the functions from the <code>org.opencms.jsp</code> package 
and never bother about the rest of the API.
</p>

<p>
After you have mastered the basics of template development, you should take a closer look at the objects in the
<code>org.opencms.file</code> package. These object are the "building blocks" for OpenCms applications, 
and it certainly helps to understand these in greater detail before moving on to more complex OpenCms applications.
As already mentioned, the <code>{@link org.opencms.file.CmsObject}</code> is probably the most important class there.
</p>

<p>
In case you want to use certain OpenCms "operating system" features, use the <code>{@link org.opencms.main.OpenCms}</code> singleton to
gain access to the low level manager classes that handle the system runtime. 
</p>

<p>
The <code>org.opencms.module</code> package contains the OpenCms module API. 
You do not usually need to "program" a module because a module is most often created using the OpenCms Workplace.
However, in case you want to trigger certain module lifecyle events, have a look at the <code>{@link org.opencms.module.I_CmsModuleAction}</code>
interface.
</p>

<p>
There are a couple of utility functions worth to mention here:
In case you want to send emails from your application, check out the <code>org.opencms.mail</code> package.
You can schedule recurring operations in OpenCms by implementing the <code>{@link org.opencms.scheduler.I_CmsScheduledJob}</code>
interface.
</p>

<h2>The basic OpenCms application design</h2>

<p>
OpenCms runs as a multi tier application. 
The database layer that contains the VFS is accessed only through the business logic provided by the
<code>{@link org.opencms.file.CmsObject}</code> class. 
This runs totally independent 
of any servlet container, there is no database logic whatsoever in the "front end", for example the JSP templates. 
Check the <code>{@link org.opencms.main.CmsShell}</code> description to see how to access the VFS without a servlet container.
</p>

<p>
In normal operation, OpenCms runs as a servlet in a servlet container.
On the startup of the container, OpenCms initializes itself from the configuration provided in the XML files.
After the XML configuration has been read, a singleton instance of the <code>{@link org.opencms.main.OpenCms}</code>
object provides access to all OpenCms functionality.
This <code>{@link org.opencms.main.OpenCms}</code> singleton instance can be considered the "operating system" of OpenCms.
</p>

<p>
After the "operating system" is initialized and the <code>{@link org.opencms.main.OpenCms}</code> object is available,
all requestes made to the <code>{@link org.opencms.main.OpenCmsServlet}</code> are directly passed to this for authorization.
When a request is recieved, it's first authenticated to see which <code>{@link org.opencms.file.CmsUser}</code>
has made the request. If the user has not been authenticated so far, the <code>{@link org.opencms.file.CmsUser}</code> object
is initialized with "Guest" user permissions. 
With this user context, an instance of a <code>{@link org.opencms.file.CmsRequestContext}</code> is generated, and with that 
a <code>{@link org.opencms.file.CmsObject}</code> is initialized. 
This initialized <code>{@link org.opencms.file.CmsObject}</code>
then provides the "users context" for all access operations to the OpenCms VFS. 
It can also be considered the "shell" of the user to the OpenCms VFS. 
All access operations to the VFS are done through the <code>{@link org.opencms.file.CmsObject}</code>, and 
this means that all access operations automatically are done with the authenticated users permissions.
