Purpose
Transfer a validated relational structure from a source domain into a target research problem.
Input contract
required: [target_problem, source_domain]
optional: [candidate_sources, transfer_constraints]
constraints: [source and target roles must be explicit]
Execution protocol
Do not perform called SOP operations inline; each loaded SOP owns its contract and thresholds.
- You MUST load skill
abstract-structureto abstract the relational structure. - You MUST load skill
map-analogyto map source relations to the target. - You MUST load skill
instantiate-transferto instantiate and test the transferred mechanism. If the analogy should be expanded across a typed combination space, considerexplore-dimensional-space. If biological mechanisms are the relevant source domain, considerbiomimetic-transfer. If several source structures must be composed, considerconceptual-blending. If the claimed mapping requires a formal preservation audit,audit-structural-equivalencemay be the better next tactic. Deviation: skip source search only when a supplied source is structurally specified; never skip mapping or transfer validation.
Output contract
produces: [abstract_structure, structural_mapping, transfer_candidate]
delta_fields: [findings, hypothesis_updates, uncertainties, decisions, open_questions]
Thresholds and quality gates
- B: every transfer records source/target correspondences, unmapped relations, and a depth check; surface similarity alone is insufficient.
Failure and counterexamples
Reject transfers whose causal/relational roles do not map, whose target constraints are violated, or whose claimed mechanism is only lexical resemblance.
Provenance map
creative-ideation/cross-domain-discovery,analogical-transfer,design-by-analogy,functional-analogy,analogy-extraction,bridge-validation: resolved where exact v3 node exists; campaign/strategy labels remain concept provenance.- Status: all six exact names resolved against the v3 source graph.
Preserved source criteria ledger
- Preserve deep structural correspondence and transfer viability; do not collapse to keyword similarity.
Context checkpoint / Delta notes
Append source relations, mapping gaps, transfer assumptions, and validation findings.
