Morphological Exploration

Systematic dimension-combination enumeration to discover unexplored solution spaces via Zwicky box, CCA, and GMA.

Strategy Routing

Strategy	Signal Keywords
zwicky-box-construction	Zwicky, morphological box, parameter matrix, value grid
cross-consistency-analysis	CCA, pairwise consistency, reduce combinations, filter inconsistent
general-morphological-analysis	GMA, Ritchey, iterative morphological, complete analysis
design-space-mapping	design space, coverage, explored regions, visualization
parameter-variation	one-factor, parameter sweep, sensitivity, variation

Manifest

Strategies

Strategy	Description
zwicky-box-construction	Classic Zwicky box: parameter identification → value enumeration → matrix construction
cross-consistency-analysis	CCA: pairwise consistency checking to reduce solution space 90-99%
general-morphological-analysis	Ritchey GMA: complete iterative morphological process
design-space-mapping	Visualize explored/unexplored regions of solution space
parameter-variation	Systematic one-factor-at-a-time parameter sweep

Tactics

Tactic	Description
combination-mapping	Systematically enumerate parameter dimensions and generate viable combinations (shared)
consistency-checking	Pairwise consistency evaluation to reduce solution space
white-space-identification	Identify unexplored viable regions in the morphological matrix

SOPs

SOP	Description
value-enumeration	Enumerate 3-5 values per parameter including extremes
matrix-construction	Build n-dimensional morphological matrix
consistency-pair-evaluation	Evaluate pairwise value consistency (logical/empirical/normative)
solution-space-reduction	Apply CCA to remove inconsistent combinations
path-generation	Generate combination paths through consistent space
white-space-detection	Identify matrix regions not covered by existing methods
combination-evaluation	Evaluate new combinations for feasibility and novelty
design-space-visualization	Generate structured description of design space
morphological-synthesis	Synthesize all morphological exploration outputs

MCP Tools

Tool	Server	Purpose
brave_web_search	brave-search	General web search for morphological methods
brave_llm_context	brave-search	Deep content extraction from web pages
apify/rag-web-browser	apify	Full page scraping for detailed content

Context Management

Each strategy tracks its own budget via State Ledger
Strategies MUST NOT exceed allocated budget
Campaign monitors cumulative spend across all strategies
If a strategy exhausts budget before meeting yield, escalate to campaign level for reallocation
Prefer paper-overview over paper-research for initial exploration (lower cost)

Available Tactics

Tactic	Role
combination-mapping	Enumerate parameter combinations (shared, from combinatorial-creativity)
consistency-checking	Pairwise consistency evaluation and space reduction
white-space-identification	Identify unexplored viable regions

Available SOPs

SOP	Role
value-enumeration	Enumerate parameter values with boundary extremes
matrix-construction	Build n-dimensional morphological matrix
consistency-pair-evaluation	Evaluate pairwise consistency
solution-space-reduction	Remove inconsistent combinations via CCA
path-generation	Generate paths through consistent space
white-space-detection	Detect uncovered matrix regions
combination-evaluation	Evaluate combinations for feasibility/novelty
design-space-visualization	Describe design space structure
morphological-synthesis	Final output synthesis

Available Strategies

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

Strategy	When to use
cross-consistency-analysis	CCA: pairwise consistency checking to reduce solution space 90-99%
design-space-mapping	Visualize explored/unexplored regions of solution space
general-morphological-analysis	Ritchey GMA: complete iterative morphological process
parameter-variation	Systematic one-factor-at-a-time parameter sweep
zwicky-box-construction	Classic Zwicky box: parameter identification → value enumeration → matrix construction

Available Tactics

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

Tactic	When to use
creative-ideation-combination-mapping	Systematically enumerate parameter dimensions and generate viable combinations. Orchestrates parameter extraction → value enumeration → compatibility assessment → synthesis.
creative-ideation-consistency-checking	Pairwise consistency evaluation to reduce solution space by identifying and removing inconsistent combinations.
evaluation-filtering	Multi-dimensional evaluation and tiered filtering of generated ideas. Orchestrates novelty assessment → feasibility check → ranking → selection.
white-space-identification	Identify unexplored viable regions in the morphological matrix where no existing methods operate.

Available SOPs

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

SOP	When to use
constraint-injection	Inject artificial constraints to force creative divergence. Generates and applies constraints (resource, time, material, audience, scale) to existing ideas to produce variants.
context-checkpoint	Append research process and results to the current Phase's context file. Covers both process and results with genuine substance. Use this skill at plan-designated checkpoint points — typically after each strategy completes or at key decision nodes within a research Phase.
context-init	Create a new context file for a research Phase. Called once at Phase start to initialize the file that subsequent context-checkpoint calls will append to. Use this skill whenever a new research Phase begins and a fresh context file is needed.
creative-ideation-novelty-scoring	Score ideas on novelty dimensions — structural distance from known solutions, conceptual surprise, domain-crossing depth. Produces ranked novelty assessment.
creative-ideation-saturation-detection	Determine when additional ideation yields diminishing returns. Analyzes latest idea batch against existing corpus to judge continue/near-saturation/saturated.
idea-synthesis	Synthesize diverse ideas into coherent solution concepts. Combines fragments from multiple ideation passes into structured, actionable ideas with clear mechanism descriptions.
parameter-identification	Identify the key parameters/dimensions of a problem space. Produces a structured parameter list with value ranges for morphological analysis.
