Compressed Conflict

Generate compressed conflicts (oxymorons) from problem contradictions and extract concrete idea directions.

Stages

Stage 1: Symbolic Compression

Identify the core contradiction in the problem and compress it into 2-3 word oxymorons using symbolic-compression SOP. Generate multiple oxymorons capturing different facets of the tension.

Stage 2: Analogy Chain

Take the most evocative oxymorons and deepen them through analogy chaining using analogy-chain SOP. Each layer reveals new aspects of the contradiction and potential resolution paths.

Stage 3: Idea Extraction

Extract concrete idea directions from the symbolic tensions. Each oxymoron should suggest at least one mechanism that resolves the contradiction it embodies.

Minimum Yield

Metric	Floor
Contradictions identified	≥2
Oxymorons generated	≥4
Oxymorons with concrete idea directions	≥2
Analogy chain depth	≥3 layers

Available SOPs

SOP	Role
symbolic-compression	Stage 1 — compress contradictions into oxymorons
analogy-chain	Stage 2 — deepen oxymorons through layers
springboard-launch	Stage 3 — convert symbolic insights to solutions
synectics-synthesis	Post — synthesize compressed conflict outputs

Available SOPs

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

SOP	When to use
analogy-chain	Chain analogies to deeper levels (3-5 layers). Each layer reveals new aspects and insights not visible at the surface.
springboard-launch	Convert analogy insights into concrete feasible solutions. Transform abstract connections into actionable mechanisms.
symbolic-compression	Compress problem contradiction into 2-3 word oxymoron. Produces oxymorons with interpretation directions for each.
