# Zwicky Box Construction

Classic Zwicky morphological box: identify parameters, enumerate values, construct matrix, generate combinations.

## 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 parameter × value combinations |
| consistency-checking | Filter inconsistent combinations |

## Available SOPs

| SOP | Role |
|-----|------|
| value-enumeration | Enumerate 3-5 values per parameter |
| matrix-construction | Build the morphological matrix |
| path-generation | Generate combination paths |
| morphological-synthesis | Synthesize final output |

## Execution Guidance

1. **Parameter identification**: Use parameter-identification SOP to extract orthogonal dimensions
2. **Value enumeration**: Run value-enumeration SOP for each parameter (3-5 values including extremes)
3. **Matrix construction**: Build n-dimensional matrix via matrix-construction SOP
4. **Combination generation**: Generate paths through the matrix via path-generation
5. **Synthesis**: Produce structured output via morphological-synthesis

## Available SOPs

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

| SOP | When to use |
| --- | --- |
| matrix-construction | Build n-dimensional morphological matrix |
| morphological-synthesis | Synthesize all morphological exploration outputs |
| path-generation | Generate combination paths through consistent space |
| value-enumeration | Enumerate 3-5 values per parameter including extremes |
