Follow these steps:

### 1. Strip to deep structure

Describe the problem's deep structure without domain language: entities, relationships, constraints, goal.

### 2. Search distant domains

Find a structurally similar solved problem outside the current field — biology, other industries, physical processes, games, social structures.

### 3. Study the solution

Study how their solutions work and why.

### 4. Map it back

What transfers directly, what needs adaptation, what breaks?

### 5. Extract the principle

Extract the underlying principle that makes the solution work.
