### *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.

The naturally occuring auxin indole-3-acetic acid (hereinafter IAA) was shown shortly after its discovery to stimulate adventitious root formation in cuttings of the easy-to-root plants, also called "good rooters" (see Went et al. 1937. Phytohormones. Mac Millan Co., N.Y. 294p). Synthetic auxins such as indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and Naphthalene-acetic acid (NAA) have more effectively induced rooting in cuttings, particularly cuttings of difficult-to-root species also call "poor rooters" (see Audus, 1959, Plant growth substances, 2nd Ed. Interscience Pub, Inc. N.Y. 553p; also see Hartmann et al. 1975).
However, cuttings from many species of plants remain difficult to root because they do not respond to known formulations of auxins, of which many have been tested (Audus, supra). Mature trees in general, particularly of certain commercially important types, are an important class of plants that remain difficult or impossible to propagate economically.
Simple phenolics when administered with an auxin sometimes cause a synergistic response in adventitious root initiation (Haissig. 1974. Influrences of auxins and auxin synergists on adventitious root primidium initiation and development ment. N.Z.J. For. Sci. 4: 311-323). Several theories have been proposed to explain the synergism, one theory being that auxin molecules become bonded to the phenolic moiety, and that the conjugate induces root initiation more effectively than either chemical separately (Haissig,supra). Methyl or ethyl esters of auxins have sometimes been shown to enhance adventitious root initiation better than free acids (Veldstra. 1944. Researches on plant growth substances, Enzymologia II, 97-163). The naturally occuring auxin IAA sometimes appears naturally esterified to other compounds (Schantz. 1966. Chemistry of naturally occuring growth regulating substances. Ann, Rev. Plant Physiol. 17: 409-438), and poorly defined auxin-phenolic conjugates have been reported.
Among the known auxins, IAA does not appear to work as a rooting hormone on woody, as opposed to herbaceous, cuttings at all. All commercially available rooting hormone preparations comprise IBA, naphthylene acidic acid (NAA), amides of naphthylene acidic acid, mixtures of the foregoing, or mixtures of the foregoing with IAA. These materials have all been available for many years, but they are generally unsatisfactory for "poor rooters" and "non-rooters" and nothing better has appeared over the years, in spite of the need for effective rooting hormones for such poor rooters and non-rooters. Thus, Dr. Hudson T. Hartmann, Head of the Pomology Department at the University of California (Davis) has stated: "No growth regulators useful in stimulating production of adventitous roots on cuttings that are better than the long standard indolebutyric acid and napthaleneacetic acid are appearing." (New Vistas in Plant Propagation. International Plant Propagators Society Combined Proceedings. 27:106-113 (1977).
It has been reported [Haissig. 1978. Influence of phenyl indole-3-acetate on adventitious root premordium initiation and development. Plant Physiology (Supplement) 61(4):65. (Abstract of paper presented at the annual Meeting of the Am. Soc. of Plant Physiologists, Va.-Poly. Inst. and State Univ., Blacksburg, Va., June 25, 1978)] that P-IAA produced 2-4 times as many root primordia per leafy bean cutting (Top Crop) as did IAA. But as beans are herbaceous, this work suggests nothing regarding the effectiveness of P-IAA on woody cuttings, particularly on poor rooters, and it suggests nothing regarding the effectiveness of aryl esters of other auxins as rooting hormones.
