Perform bisociation at multiple abstraction levels — decompose a concept into concrete, functional, structural, and abstract levels, identifying collision opportunities at each.
Subagent — spawned via subagent-spawning/spawn-agent skill.
Abstraction laddering requires careful level-by-level decomposition and the identification of non-obvious collision opportunities at each level. Benefits from systematic dedicated attention.
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
