Exploration Strategies

Graph traversal strategies for continuous knowledge discovery

Coscientist needs more than retrieval: it needs exploration mechanisms that actively surfaces contradictions, boundary conditions, and method dependence in the Dialectical Graph.

Key strategies include:

  • Counterexample-First Search — treat popularity as a risk signal; prioritize counterexamples and boundary conditions
  • Minimum Cut — isolate the minimal structure that produces a contradiction, then focus attention on the minimum contradiction set
  • Definition Drift — detect meaning shifts instead of assuming shared concepts
  • Method-Conclusion Coupling — cluster claims by method to find shared flaws
  • Replication Path Separation — distinguish independent evidence from repeated restatements

In implementation, these show up as specialized agents for normalization, assumption extraction, counterexample search, scope reconstruction, and verification strategy design.
