yogsoth-ai Perspective Rotation
Rotate through reviewer/practitioner/theorist/time-machine/novice perspectives systematically.
Stages
Stage 1: Reviewer 2 Hat
Adopt hostile reviewer stance. Find fatal flaws, logical gaps, missing evidence, and unstated assumptions. Use reviewer2-hat SOP.
Stage 2: Practitioner Hat
Switch to engineer perspective. Assess buildability, cost, timeline, technical debt, and integration challenges. Use practitioner-hat SOP.
Stage 3: Theorist Hat
Adopt theorist role. Assess formal foundations, mathematical rigor, theoretical completeness, and formalization opportunities. Use theorist-hat SOP.
Stage 4: Time Machine
Project to multiple time horizons. How does this look from 5yr/50yr/500yr future? What's obsolete, what endures? Use time-machine SOP.
Stage 5: Novice Perspective
Become deliberate novice. Question every "obvious" assumption. Ask "why?" repeatedly. Find hidden complexity masquerading as simplicity. Use novice-perspective SOP.
Stage 6: Synthesize
Combine all perspective outputs into integrated multi-perspective assessment. Identify convergent insights and divergent tensions. Use perspective-synthesis SOP.

Available SOPs
| SOP | Role |
|---|---|
| reviewer2-hat | Stage 1 — hostile reviewer perspective |
| practitioner-hat | Stage 2 — engineer perspective |
| theorist-hat | Stage 3 — theorist perspective |
| time-machine | Stage 4 — temporal projection |
| novice-perspective | Stage 5 — novice questioning |
| perspective-synthesis | Stage 6 — synthesize all outputs |
Available SOPs
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| SOP | When to use |
|---|---|
| novice-perspective | Novice perspective — question the 'obvious' by adopting deliberate ignorance to reveal hidden complexity. |
| perspective-synthesis | Synthesize all perspective outputs into a structured multi-perspective idea report. |
| practitioner-hat | Engineer perspective — assess buildability, cost, timeline, and integration challenges. |
| reviewer2-hat | Hostile reviewer perspective — find fatal flaws, logical gaps, and missing evidence in a solution. |
| theorist-hat | Theorist perspective — assess theoretical foundations, formal rigor, and formalization opportunities. |
| time-machine | Temporal projection — view a solution from future/past time horizons to generate temporally-informed insights. |
