Assumption Enumeration

Surface, perturb, and prioritize assumptions by disruption potential.

Stages

Stage 1: Assumption Surfacing

Use assumption-surfacing SOP to enumerate all implicit assumptions in the target. Cover all 8 categories (physical, temporal, spatial, economic, technical, social, logical, paradigmatic).

Stage 2: Assumption Perturbation

For each surfaced assumption, use assumption-perturbation SOP to systematically perturb it. Observe what breaks, what new spaces open, and what remains stable.

Stage 3: Sacred Cow Identification

From the perturbation results, use sacred-cow-identification SOP to flag assumptions that are deeply held but poorly justified — the true sacred cows with highest disruption potential.

Stage 4: Prioritization

Rank all assumptions by disruption potential × challengeability. Select top candidates for downstream negation and inversion work.

Available SOPs

SOP	Role
assumption-surfacing	Stage 1 — enumerate assumptions (shared, existing)
assumption-perturbation	Stage 2 — perturb and observe
sacred-cow-identification	Stage 3 — flag unquestioned beliefs
novelty-scoring	Stage 4 — score disruption potential
saturation-detection	Pre — check if more surfacing needed
