yogsoth-ai Symbolic Analogy
Compress the core contradiction of a problem into poetic imagery or oxymoron, then use the compressed conflict to reveal hidden solution directions.

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 |
|---|---|
| compressed-conflict | Generate oxymorons and extract idea directions |
Available SOPs
| SOP | Role |
|---|---|
| symbolic-compression | Compress contradiction into 2-3 word oxymoron |
| analogy-chain | Deepen symbolic imagery through layers |
| springboard-launch | Convert symbolic insights into solutions |
| synectics-synthesis | Synthesize symbolic analogy outputs |
Execution Guidance
- Identify contradiction: Find the core tension in the problem
- Compress: Reduce to a 2-3 word oxymoron (e.g., "familiar surprise")
- Interpret: Explore what the oxymoron suggests as solution directions
- Deepen: Chain the symbolic image through analogy layers
- Extract: Convert symbolic insights into concrete mechanisms
- Validate: Check that solutions actually address the original contradiction
Available Tactics
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| Tactic | When to use |
|---|---|
| compressed-conflict | Generate compressed conflicts (oxymorons) from problem contradictions and extract concrete idea directions from the symbolic tension. |
Available SOPs
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| SOP | When to use |
|---|---|
| analogy-chain | Chain analogies to deeper levels (3-5 layers). Each layer reveals new aspects and insights not visible at the surface. |
| springboard-launch | Convert analogy insights into concrete feasible solutions. Transform abstract connections into actionable mechanisms. |
| symbolic-compression | Compress problem contradiction into 2-3 word oxymoron. Produces oxymorons with interpretation directions for each. |
| synectics-synthesis | Synthesize all synectics outputs into a structured idea report. Combines results from all analogy types and excursion processes. |
