# PUREBrainstorming

Generate -> Check -> Optimize -> Propose

Layer: Mind · Category: Strategy

## Mechanism

The PURE-filtered ideation specialization of the [PURE](https://mindscape.world/scapes/bootstrap/PURE.md) framework: a rigorous ideation protocol. Unlike standard brainstorming (which prioritizes quantity), PUREBrainstorming enforces immediate quality filtering. It generates candidate concepts and subjects them to [PURECheck](https://mindscape.world/scapes/bootstrap/PURECheck.md). Surviving concepts undergo [PUREOptimization](https://mindscape.world/scapes/bootstrap/PUREOptimization.md) to maximize their scores. The process converges only when a concept can be fully articulated as a [MechanisticDesignProposal](https://mindscape.world/scapes/bootstrap/MechanisticDesignProposal.md), ensuring that every idea is backed by a causal mechanism.

## Invariants

- Filter-First: No concept moves to the Proposal stage without passing PURECheck.
- Mechanistic Rigor: The final output must match the MechanisticDesignProposal schema.
