- Solves complex problems by identifying and challenging underlying assumptions
- Uses subagents for governing variable surfacing, counter-assumption generation, and wickedness scoring
- Evaluates whether problems dissolve under alternative assumptions
- Delivers a structured analysis of problem persistence and wickedness level

--- name: dialectical-escalation description: Double-loop learning escalation — surface governing variables, generate counter-assumptions, test if problem dissolves under alternatives, score wickedness if it persists. execution: tactic used-by: dialectical-reformulation --- # Dialectical Escalation Escalate from single-loop to double-loop learning. ## Operations governing-variable-surfacing → counter-assumption-generation → wickedness-scoring ## Available SOPs **Subagent:** governing-variable-surfacing, counter-assumption-generation, wickedness-scoring **Shared:** assumption-surfacing ## Execution Guidance Surface the governing variables (Argyris: the unstated rules everyone follows), generate the opposite assumption for each, test whether the problem still exists under the alternative. If it persists regardless, assess wickedness level. Single-loop: "How do we solve this problem better?" Double-loop: "Should we be solving this problem at all?" ## Minimum Yield ``` <HARD-GATE> - Governing variables surfaced: >= 3 - Counter-assumptions generated: >= 3 - Problem dissolution tests: >= 2 - Wickedness assessment: completed if problem persists </HARD-GATE> ```
