Validity Envelope Mapping
Tactics
- boundary-probing
- contradiction-derivation
Method
- Identify all dimensions where claim validity may vary
- For each dimension, probe from center outward to find boundaries
- Record transition points (valid -> invalid)
- Construct multi-dimensional validity envelope
- Identify the weakest dimensions (narrowest valid range)
- Report envelope with confidence levels per boundary
Budget
| Size | Envelope dimensions | Probes per dimension | Resolution |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | 2 | 5 | Coarse |
| M | 4 | 8 | Medium |
| L | 6 | 12 | Fine |

Available Tactics
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| Tactic | When to use |
|---|---|
| boundary-probing | Map parameter space, generate extreme values, test at boundaries, detect breakpoints, synthesize validity envelope. |
| contradiction-derivation | Negate a claim, derive logical consequences step by step, detect whether a genuine contradiction or absurdity emerges. |
Available SOPs
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| SOP | When to use |
|---|---|
| breakpoint-detection | Test a claim at extreme parameter values and detect the precise point where it breaks down. |
| extreme-value-generation | Generate boundary and extreme test values for a given parameter dimension to stress-test claims. |
| parameter-space-mapping | Identify all parameter dimensions along which a claim's validity might vary. |
| stress-test-validity-envelope-construction | Synthesize breakpoints across dimensions into a coherent validity envelope for a claim. |
