creative-ideation

Perform bisociation at multiple abstraction levels

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

Combinatorial Creativity Campaign — produce emergent concepts via concept blending, multi-level bisociation, and function combination (Fauconnier-Turner)

Synthesize all combinatorial creativity outputs

Fauconnier-Turner 4-space model: Generic + Input1 + Input2 → Blended Space

Parametric variation + constraint satisfaction combinatorial search

Detect and validate emergent properties from combinations. Orchestrates emergent-property-identification → blend-elaboration.

Seek properties that emerge from combination (non-additive)

Identify non-additive properties from combinations

TRIZ function analysis: function-level recombination and redistribution

Redistribute functions across different components

Extract shared abstract structure from two input spaces

Build input spaces for two source concepts

Simultaneous concept collision at multiple abstraction levels

Map 15 vital relations between concepts

Generate alternatives for every known approach — ensure no approach goes unchallenged.

Non-threatening 'Why?' questioning of current practices (de Bono Challenge)

Non-threatening 'Why?' questioning of current practices to reveal historical accidents vs. genuine constraints.

Expand concept fan from purpose through concepts to directions to ideas (de Bono Concept Fan).

Expand from purpose to concepts to directions to ideas (de Bono Concept Fan)

Build concept levels from purpose through concepts to ideas, with escape and fractionation at each level.

Identify dominant thinking pattern and escape it via deliberate pattern-breaking.

Split concepts into smaller units and recombine them differently to produce novel structures.

Structured creative thinking in Six Hats Green Hat mode — pure creative output with judgment suspended.

Synthesize all lateral thinking intermediate outputs into a structured idea report.

Lateral Thinking Campaign — escape logical thinking tracks via PO/movement, random entry, concept fan, challenge, and six hats (de Bono)

Extract constructive directions from provocations via 4 movement types (moment-to-moment, principle, focus difference, positive aspects).

Extract constructive directions from PO provocations using 4 movement types (moment-to-moment, principle, focus difference, positive aspects).

PO + Movement: generate provocations then extract useful directions (4 movement types)

Random word/concept as thinking entry point (de Bono Random Entry)

Green Hat focused creative thinking within Six Hats framework

Use impractical ideas as stepping stones to reach practical solutions (de Bono Stepping Stone technique).

Remove components one by one, observe system changes to reveal hidden dependencies and generate ideas from structural gaps.

Remove components one by one from a system, record the response/impact of each removal.

Chain analogies to deeper levels (3-5 layers). Each layer reveals new aspects and insights not visible at the surface.

Catalog all known solutions/methods in a domain with performance, applicability, and limitations.

Systematically scan all known solutions, identify gaps in coverage and unexplored regions of the solution space.
