# Forced Bridge Construction

Force connections between unrelated technologies. Unlike natural analogy discovery, this strategy deliberately constructs bridges where none exist, using the construction process itself as a creative mechanism.

## State Ledger

| Resource | Target | Current | % |
|----------|--------|---------|---|
| web-search | 25 | 0 | 0% |
| web-research | 8 | 0 | 0% |
| paper-overview | 20 | 0 | 0% |
| paper-search | 12 | 0 | 0% |

## 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 |
|--------|------|
| domain-divergence | Select maximally distant technology pairs for bridging |
| bridge-validation | Validate constructed bridges for structural depth |

## Available SOPs

| SOP | Role |
|-----|------|
| forced-connection | Core SOP — force connection between concept pairs |
| domain-scanning | Identify candidate technologies for bridging |
| abstraction-extraction | Abstract principles to find bridging level |
| structural-mapping | Map structural correspondences across the bridge |
| transfer-adaptation | Adapt bridged concept to target constraints |
| cross-domain-synthesis | Synthesize all bridge-derived solutions |

## Execution Guidance

1. **Select endpoints**: Choose two unrelated technologies/domains via domain-divergence
2. **Identify abstraction levels**: For each endpoint, extract principles at multiple abstraction levels
3. **Construct bridge**: Use forced-connection SOP to build a path between endpoints
4. **Test bridge load**: Can the bridge carry a real solution concept? Use bridge-validation
5. **Iterate endpoints**: Try ≥4 different endpoint pairs
6. **Extract solutions**: From validated bridges, derive concrete solution ideas
7. **Synthesize**: Combine bridge-derived ideas into coherent proposals

## 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. |
| cross-domain-synthesis | Synthesize all cross-domain findings into a structured idea report. Integrates outputs from all strategies and SOPs. |
| forced-connection | Force connection between two unrelated concepts. Deliberately construct bridging paths where no natural connection exists. |
| transfer-adaptation | Adapt transferred principle to target problem constraints. Produces concrete adapted solutions from abstract principles. |
