Research

Leave the problem entirely and explore an unrelated domain. Produces excursion domain discoveries for later force-fitting.

Use evolution mechanisms (selection, mutation, radiation) as design operators for generating and refining solution populations.

Map evolution mechanisms to design operations. Translate selection, mutation, drift, radiation into design operators.

Tactic: Evidence gathering, cross-examination, and quality judgment. External evidence is collected, presented, challenged, and scored for relevance and reliability.

Synthesize multi-source evidence into structured argumentation. Weaves findings from literature, web, and analysis into coherent evidence maps with explicit strength ratings.

Plan the statistical synthesis approach — model selection, heterogeneity strategy, and reporting

Searches for external evidence supporting or opposing specific claims. Returns structured evidence with source assessment and relevance scoring.

Build evidence network graph for network meta-analysis — nodes, edges, geometry assessment

Systematic evidence map construction — search, classify, locate gaps, visualize. Combines concept-matrix-construction, gap-keyword-extraction, evidence-grading, and egm-construction SOPs.

Assess evidence quality using GRADE/SOE framework. Rates certainty level and identifies downgrade reasons.

Strategy: 基于证据强度的 AHRQ PiCMe 评估——用文献证据质量驱动 gap 优先级

Model conflicts as Goldratt's Evaporating Cloud — expose hidden assumptions behind opposing needs to dissolve the conflict.

Compare implementation differences of same benchmark across papers

Multi-dimensional evaluation and tiered filtering of generated ideas. Orchestrates novelty assessment → feasibility check → ranking → selection.

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

SOP: define complete experiment environment specification

Synthesize all systematic enumeration outputs into a structured idea report with prioritized recommendations.

Generate technical solutions emulating biological strategies. Bridge from design principle to concrete implementation.

Identify non-additive properties from combinations

Seek properties that emerge from combination (non-additive)

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

Build structured Evidence Gap Maps — define axes (intervention × outcome or method × domain), place gaps in cells, annotate with evidence density and quality.

Strategy for large-N sparse pairwise comparison using TrueSkill, active learning, and rank centrality to rank 100+ candidates from limited comparisons.

Determine effect size types and calculation methods for meta-analytic synthesis
