Deep
Vertical search dimension
Definition
Mechanism
The vertical axis of search and treatment: spending more to answer the same question at higher resolution, as against Discover, which moves horizontally to find more things. Recursive node expansion is one form; escalating a heuristic to a formal method is another that produces no tree.
Invariants
- The deeper treatment answers the question the shallower one answered. It may raise new questions; answering a different one is a sideways move.
- The deeper treatment costs more compute or context than the one it supersedes.
- The deeper treatment is more specific than the one it supersedes.
