Assumption Destruction

Assumption Destruction Tactic (Category 3)

Minimum SOP Usage

<HARD-GATE> **You MUST call at least 2 of the SOPs listed in your calls section.** More SOPs = more diverse ideas = better MAP-Elites coverage.

Available SOPs: axiom-negation, reverse-engineering, worst-method-analysis, anti-benchmark

Each SOP challenges assumptions from a different direction:

• axiom-negation: "What if this fundamental assumption is wrong?"
• reverse-engineering: "How would we make this problem WORSE?"
• worst-method-analysis: "What's the worst possible approach, and what does inverting it teach us?"
• anti-benchmark: "What's wrong with how we measure success?"

Calling only 1 is a protocol violation. </HARD-GATE>

Procedure

1. Extract assumptions from accumulated insight chain
2. For top 3 most questionable assumptions: axiom-negation SOP (de Bono PO)
3. reverse-engineering SOP on the main problem ("what would make it worse?")
