# Function Combination

TRIZ function analysis: function-level recombination and redistribution. Decompose systems into functions and recombine them in novel ways — moving functions between components, merging functions, or splitting them to create new system architectures.

## HARD-GATE

Cannot exit strategy until ≥80% of each budget line is consumed OR yield targets are met with justification for remaining budget.

## Available Tactics

| Tactic | Role |
|--------|------|
| combination-mapping | Enumerate function recombination possibilities |
| emergence-detection | Detect emergent capabilities from function redistribution |

## Available SOPs

| SOP | Role |
|-----|------|
| function-redistribution | Redistribute functions across components |
| emergent-property-identification | Identify emergent properties from recombination |
| input-space-construction | Build function spaces for system components |
| combinatorial-synthesis | Synthesize function combination outputs |

## Execution Guidance

1. **Build Function Model**: Decompose the system into its constituent functions (useful, harmful, insufficient)
2. **Identify Function Carriers**: Map which components carry which functions
3. **Generate Redistribution Options**: Use function-redistribution to propose moves (merge, split, transfer, eliminate)
4. **Evaluate Combinations**: Assess each redistribution for feasibility and novelty
5. **Check Emergence**: Use emergence-detection to find non-additive capabilities
6. **Synthesize**: Compile viable function recombinations into proposals

## Available Tactics

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

| Tactic | When to use |
| --- | --- |
| emergence-detection | Detect and validate emergent properties from combinations. Orchestrates emergent-property-identification → blend-elaboration. |

## Available SOPs

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

| SOP | When to use |
| --- | --- |
| combinatorial-synthesis | Synthesize all combinatorial creativity outputs |
| emergent-property-identification | Identify non-additive properties from combinations |
| function-redistribution | Redistribute functions across different components |
| input-space-construction | Build input spaces for two source concepts |
