Identify dominant paradigms and generate de Bono provocations to escape constraints

  • Locate the most influential assumptions holding the field back.
  • Utilize de Bono's provocations (escape, reversal, exaggeration, distortion) for new insights.
  • Follow through on each provocation’s consequences to find viable alternatives.
  • Present these alternative framings to aid in problem-solving and innovation.

# Dominant Idea Escape

Break free from paradigm lock-in through lateral thinking.

## Available Tactics

- lateral-escape

## Available SOPs

**Import:** web-search, web-research, paper-overview, paper-search, paper-research
**Subagent:** dominant-idea-identification, provocation-generation, consequence-following

## Execution Guidance

Identify the dominant paradigm/assumption constraining the field, generate de Bono provocations (escape, reversal, exaggeration, distortion), follow consequences of each provocation to extract viable new framings.
