Combination Mapping

Systematically enumerate parameter dimensions and generate viable combinations.

Stages

Stage 1: Parameter Extraction

Identify independent parameters of the problem space using parameter-identification SOP. Verify orthogonality.

Stage 2: Value Enumeration

For each parameter, enumerate 3-5 meaningful values including boundary and extreme values. Use value-enumeration SOP or direct generation.

Stage 3: Compatibility Assessment

Evaluate pairwise compatibility of value combinations. Flag logically/empirically/normatively inconsistent pairs. Use consistency-pair-evaluation SOP if available.

Stage 4: Path Generation

Generate viable combination paths through the consistent solution space. Prioritize unexplored regions (white space). Use path-generation or recombination-generation SOP.

Stage 5: Synthesis

Evaluate generated combinations for novelty and feasibility. Synthesize into structured ideas.
