yogsoth-ai Analogical Transfer
Systematic structure-mapping from source to target domain following Gentner's structure-mapping theory. Prioritize relational similarity over surface similarity.

HARD-GATE
Cannot exit strategy until ≥80% of each budget line is consumed OR yield targets are met with justification for remaining budget.
Available Tactics
| Tactic | Role |
|---|---|
| analogy-extraction | Core tactic — extract and validate structural analogies |
| domain-divergence | Find distant source domains with high structural similarity |
| bridge-validation | Validate mapping depth before transfer |
Available SOPs
| SOP | Role |
|---|---|
| domain-scanning | Find candidate source domains |
| abstraction-extraction | Extract abstract relational structure |
| structural-mapping | Map source→target correspondences |
| analogy-quality-assessment | Rate analogy depth (surface/structural/systemic) |
| transfer-adaptation | Adapt transferred principle to target constraints |
| cross-domain-synthesis | Synthesize transfer outputs |
Execution Guidance
- Functionalize target: Restate target problem in relational terms (not object terms)
- Source search: Use domain-scanning to find domains with similar relational structure
- Abstract source: Extract relational structure from source using abstraction-extraction
- Map structure: Use structural-mapping to align source→target correspondences
- Assess depth: Apply analogy-quality-assessment — only proceed with STRUCTURAL or SYSTEMIC matches
- Transfer: Carry over higher-order relational constraints from source to target
- Adapt: Use transfer-adaptation to fit transferred principles to target constraints
- Validate: Confirm transferred solution respects target domain physics/logic
Available Tactics
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| Tactic | When to use |
|---|---|
| bridge-validation | Validate analogy depth and transfer viability. Ensures only deep structural analogies (not surface-level similarities) proceed to transfer. |
| domain-divergence | Scan and select maximally diverse source domains. Ensures creative search covers genuinely unrelated fields with high transfer potential. |
Available SOPs
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| SOP | When to use |
|---|---|
| abstraction-extraction | Extract abstract principles from concrete domain cases. Strips domain-specific details to reveal transferable mechanisms. |
| analogy-quality-assessment | Assess analogy depth (surface/structural/systemic). Determines whether an analogy warrants transfer investment. |
| cross-domain-synthesis | Synthesize all cross-domain findings into a structured idea report. Integrates outputs from all strategies and SOPs. |
| structural-mapping | Map source→target structural correspondences. Identifies corresponding, missing, and extra elements between domains. |
| transfer-adaptation | Adapt transferred principle to target problem constraints. Produces concrete adapted solutions from abstract principles. |
