Mapping to known solutions
Definition
Mechanism
To solve a novel Problem, the Agent uses LatentAttachment to search its embedding space for a structural analogy in a different domain (e.g., 'This architecture problem is like an ant colony'). It maps the Solution from the source domain to the target domain. The result is a mapping from source onto target, not a fusion of the two — fusing them into a third concept is a different operation, `ConceptBlend`.
Preconditions
- A searchable body of past Solutions in other domains
Postconditions
- Inference transferred
Invariants
- The mapping pairs relations with relations; shared object attributes are not evidence of analogy.
- Every relation the transferred Solution depends on is paired with a relation in the target.
- The correspondence is written down, relation by relation.
Risks
Failure modes
False analogy (mapping superficial similarities).
