yogsoth-ai Emergent Property Hunting
Seek properties that emerge from combination (non-additive). Focus specifically on identifying and validating properties that exist in the combination but not in any individual component — the hallmark of genuine creative novelty.

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 |
|---|---|
| combination-mapping | Enumerate combinations to test for emergence |
| emergence-detection | Detect and validate emergent properties |
| blend-construction | Construct blends to test for emergent structure |
Available SOPs
| SOP | Role |
|---|---|
| emergent-property-identification | Identify non-additive properties |
| blend-elaboration | Run combinations as mental simulations |
| vital-relation-mapping | Map relations that enable emergence |
| combinatorial-synthesis | Synthesize emergence findings |
Execution Guidance
- Generate Combinations: Use combination-mapping to produce candidate combinations
- Predict Properties: For each combination, predict what properties should exist if combination is merely additive
- Simulate: Use blend-elaboration to run the combination as a mental simulation
- Detect Emergence: Identify properties that appear in simulation but weren't predicted from additive model
- Validate: Confirm emergent properties are genuine (not just overlooked additive properties)
- Characterize: Describe the mechanism by which emergence occurs (interaction effects, threshold effects, structural effects)
- Rank: Prioritize emergent properties by novelty and utility
Available Tactics
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| Tactic | When to use |
|---|---|
| blend-construction | Construct complete 4-space blends with emergent structure. Orchestrates input-space-construction → generic-space-extraction → blend-composition. |
| emergence-detection | Detect and validate emergent properties from combinations. Orchestrates emergent-property-identification → blend-elaboration. |
