# Separation Principle

Resolve physical contradictions through separation in time, space, condition, or scale.

## Execution

Subagent — spawned via subagent-spawning/spawn-agent skill.

## Why Subagent

Separation requires exploring four distinct dimensions of resolution, each with its own logic. Benefits from dedicated context that can systematically work through all four separation types without conflation.
