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.
