description	Generate grounded novel hypotheses from contradictions, complementary claims, and cross-domain mechanism transfers using the unified synthesize tool.

Synthesize grounded novelty

Call synthesize with the goal and context. Add a mechanism-framed problem when cross-domain transfers are useful. It returns three views together: contradictions, complementary compositions, and transfers with high mechanism similarity but low context similarity.

Turn the strongest opportunity into one structured hypothesis. Record it with remember_claim, using origin: contradiction, synthesis, or transfer and setting derived_from to every source card. Explain the causal mechanism, intervention, prediction, failure modes, lever, altitude, and why the combination is not a superficial analogy. Start speculative claims at low-to-medium confidence, verify what can be verified, then let plan_next_step rank them.

Prefer goal-relevant mechanism/reframe ideas. Novelty without a mechanistic reason is noise.
