WhyClimb
Recursive problem abstraction
Definition
Mechanism
A root-cause analysis protocol where the agent iteratively asks 'Why is this a problem?' to Reframe the Problem and ascend the abstraction hierarchy. The goal is to reach the 'Ceiling'—the highest level where the problem is still actionable but the solution space is maximized. Utilizes RecursiveRootCause.
Risks
Failure modes
Climbing too high (solving 'Entropy' instead of 'Fix Bug').
