Execution Guidance
Surface Argyris governing variables (the unstated rules driving behavior), generate counter-assumptions for each, test whether the problem dissolves under alternative governing variables (double-loop learning).
Available Tactics
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| Tactic | When to use |
|---|
| deep-insight-dialectical-escalation | Double-loop learning escalation — surface governing variables, generate counter-assumptions, test if problem dissolves under alternatives, score wickedness if it persists. |
Available SOPs
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| SOP | When to use |
|---|
| counter-assumption-generation | Generate dialectical opposites for governing variables — coherent alternative worldviews where the opposite is true. |
| governing-variable-surfacing | Apply Argyris framework to identify governing variables — the unstated rules driving behavior in a research field. |
