StructuralCoaching

Guidance on deep structure vs surface features

Definition

Mechanism

A feedback pattern for Creative iteration. The Critic rejects a proposal not because of its content (surface), but because of its logical form (structure). It explicitly guides the Generator to shift the 'Mechanism Class' (e.g., from Individual to Collective) while ignoring the 'Topic' (e.g., Money vs Time). Utilizes Invert, Feedback.

Preconditions

  1. Generator is stuck in a local optimum

Postconditions

  1. Next proposal uses distinct logic

Invariants

  1. Depth Distinction: Critique must target Mechanism, not Vocabulary
  2. Directional Guidance: Rejection must propose a structural pivot (e.g., 'Invert the flow')

Risks

Failure modes

  1. Critic becomes too prescriptive, reducing Generator agency.
