simulate-emergent-properties

Purpose

Project selected structures into a blend and identify properties, affordances, contradictions, or mechanisms absent from either source alone.

Input contract

required: [selected_structures, blend_projection]
optional: [source_properties, compatibility_constraints, simulation_assumptions]
constraints: [emergence claim must specify the source properties it combines]

Procedure

1. Project selected relations into the blended configuration.
2. Derive candidate interactions and properties of the blend.
3. Compare each property with the source spaces and flag genuinely emergent effects.

Output contract

produces: [blend_model, emergent_properties, interaction_mechanisms, contradiction_flags]
delta_fields: [findings, hypothesis_updates, uncertainties, decisions]
