Building complex behavior from simple primitives
Definition
Mechanism
Recursive Assembly: Given solved subproblems, Combine solutions respecting interfaces. Check: does combined solution satisfy original problem constraints? If interaction effects emerge, add coordination layer or revise decomposition. It often employs PromptChain to sequentially feed sub-solutions into the integration step.
Preconditions
- Subproblem solutions available.
- Interface contracts defined.
- Composition order known if order-dependent.
Postconditions
- Combined solution satisfies original problem.
- No interface violations.
- Emergent interactions handled.
Invariants
- Component outputs match downstream inputs.
- The composition graph is acyclic.
- Verified against the original problem, not only against its interfaces.
Risks
Failure modes
Interface Mismatch
component outputs do not match the expected inputs of downstream components.
Emergent interaction
every interface matches and the whole still fails the original constraints.
