Subagent — spawned via subagent-spawning/spawn-agent skill.
Alternatives generation requires systematically considering each known approach and producing genuinely different alternatives (not variations). Benefits from dedicated context that can maintain the "different, not better" mindset.
Perform bisociation at multiple abstraction levels
Complete blend with background knowledge
Compose new connections in blended space
Construct complete 4-space blends with emergent structure. Orchestrates input-space-construction → generic-space-extraction → blend-composition.
Run blend as mental simulation
Combinatorial Creativity Campaign — produce emergent concepts via concept blending, multi-level bisociation, and function combination (Fauconnier-Turner)
