Expected: A clear picture of the creative space: bounded by constraints, informed by seeds, and opened by degrees of freedom.
On failure: If the space feels fully constrained (no degrees of freedom), re-examine — often constraints that seem fixed are actually preferences. Ask the user if needed.
Produce multiple possibilities without evaluating them.
Expected: Three or more genuinely distinct approaches, each with a clear identity and trade-off profile.
On failure: If all approaches feel similar, the generation was too narrow. Return to Step 1 and look for unexplored degrees of freedom. Alternatively, invert a constraint: "What if I did the opposite of the obvious approach?"
Assess the generated approaches against the creative space.
Expected: A single chosen approach (or a clearly framed choice for the user) with articulated reasoning.
On failure: If no approach satisfies all constraints, the constraints may be contradictory. Surface the contradiction to the user rather than forcing a creation that compromises on fundamentals.
Execute the chosen approach, giving it concrete form.
Expected: A concrete creation that embodies the chosen approach — code, plan, structure, or design that exists where void existed before.
On failure: If the manifestation diverges from the chosen approach, pause and re-read Step 3's selection. Drift during manifestation often indicates the selection was not fully committed to. Either recommit or re-select.
New creations are fragile. Protect them through their early stages.
vishnu-bhaga for ongoing preservation if the creation will persistExpected: A creation that is tested, documented, and ready for sustained use.
On failure: If the creation fails its first test, assess whether the failure is in the creation or the test. If the creation is fundamentally flawed, return to Step 2 with the failure as a new anti-pattern seed.
