Random Stimulus Entry
Use random word/paper/concept as thinking entry point. Genuine randomness breaks fixation patterns and forces the mind into unexplored territory.

HARD-GATE
Cannot exit strategy until ≥80% of each budget line is consumed OR yield targets are met with justification for remaining budget.
Available Tactics
| Tactic | Role |
|---|
| domain-divergence | Ensure stimuli come from genuinely unrelated domains |
| bridge-validation | Validate that forced connections produce real insight |
Available SOPs
| SOP | Role |
|---|
| random-word-stimulus | Generate random word stimuli and force connections |
| random-paper-entry | Select random paper as stimulus entry point |
| forced-connection | Force connection between stimulus and problem |
| abstraction-extraction | Extract transferable principle from stimulus domain |
| cross-domain-synthesis | Synthesize all stimulus-derived ideas |
Execution Guidance
- Select stimulus type: Choose random word, random paper, or random concept
- Generate stimulus: Use random-word-stimulus or random-paper-entry SOP
- Force connection: Apply forced-connection SOP to bridge stimulus→problem
- Extract principle: If connection is promising, abstract the underlying mechanism
- Iterate: Generate ≥5 stimuli, force connections for each
- Filter: Use bridge-validation to separate genuine insights from surface associations
- Synthesize: Combine validated connections into solution concepts
