Inversion Protocol
Reverse statements → extract insights → build constructive alternatives.
Stages
Stage 1: Reversal Generation
Use reversal-generation SOP to systematically reverse positive statements, assumptions, and goals into their opposites. Generate both simple negations and creative inversions.
Stage 2: Inversion Extraction
For each reversal, use inversion-extraction SOP to extract constructive insights. Ask: "What does this reversal reveal about the original? What hidden constraint does it expose?"
Stage 3: Constructive Rebellion
Use constructive-rebellion SOP to build viable, constructive alternatives from the extracted insights. Transform destructive negation into productive innovation.
Minimum Yield
| Metric | Floor |
|---|---|
| Reversals generated | ≥6 |
| Insights extracted | ≥5 |
| Constructive alternatives | ≥4 |
| Alternatives with clear mechanism | ≥3 |
Available SOPs
| SOP | Role |
|---|---|
| reversal-generation | Stage 1 — systematic reversal of statements |
| inversion-extraction | Stage 2 — extract insights from reversals |
| constructive-rebellion | Stage 3 — build alternatives from insights |
| worst-case-design | Stage 1 alt — design worst solution for inversion |
| destruction-synthesis | Post — synthesize all inversion outputs |
Available SOPs
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| SOP | When to use |
|---|---|
| constructive-rebellion | Build constructive alternatives from destructive negation. Transform violated assumptions into viable innovation directions. |
| inversion-extraction | Extract constructive insights from worst solutions. Transform failure analysis into innovation directions. |
| reversal-generation | Systematically reverse positive statements to generate creative inversions. Produces reversed statements with initial associations. |
| worst-case-design | Design the worst possible solution. Deliberate failure engineering to reveal hidden constraints and inversion opportunities. |
