Facet Bisociation
Bridge two unrelated thinking matrices via Koestler bisociation — the creative act occurs at the intersection of two self-consistent but habitually incompatible frames of reference.

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 |
|---|
| analogy-extraction | Extract structural principles from each matrix |
| domain-divergence | Ensure the two matrices are genuinely unrelated |
| bridge-validation | Validate that the bisociation produces deep insight, not surface pun |
Available SOPs
| SOP | Role |
|---|
| domain-scanning | Identify candidate thinking matrices |
| abstraction-extraction | Abstract the logic of each matrix |
| bisociation-network-construction | Build the collision network between matrices |
| analogy-quality-assessment | Assess depth of the bisociative connection |
| cross-domain-synthesis | Synthesize bisociation outputs into ideas |
Execution Guidance
- Select Matrix A: Identify the problem's native frame of reference (its habitual logic)
- Select Matrix B: Find a genuinely unrelated frame via domain-divergence tactic
- Abstract both: Extract the operating logic of each matrix using abstraction-extraction
- Force collision: Identify points where the two logics intersect or contradict
- Extract insight: At each collision point, derive a novel perspective or mechanism
- Build network: Use bisociation-network-construction to map all collision points
- Validate depth: Use bridge-validation to confirm insights are structural, not superficial
