Identify non-additive properties in component combinations

  • Detects properties that arise only from specific combinations
  • Uses subagent execution for focused analysis
  • Compares expected additive outcomes with actual results
  • Returns emergent properties as actionable insights

# Emergent Property Identification

Identify non-additive properties from combinations — properties that exist in the combination but not in any individual component.

## Execution

Subagent — spawned via subagent-spawning/spawn-agent skill.

## Why Subagent

Emergent property identification requires careful comparison between predicted additive properties and actual combination properties, plus creative imagination to spot non-obvious emergence. Benefits from dedicated analytical-creative attention.
