# Function Trimming

Systematically remove components while preserving or redistributing their functions to remaining elements.

## State Ledger

## 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 |
|--------|------|
| component-decomposition | Identify components and trimming candidates |
| combination-mapping | Map function redistribution options |

## Available SOPs

| SOP | Role |
|-----|------|
| function-model-construction | Build functional model with useful/harmful annotations |
| trimming-execution | Progressive removal with function verification |
| recombination-generation | Reassemble trimmed system |
| structural-synthesis | Synthesize trimming outcomes |

## Execution Guidance

1. **Model**: Build complete function model via function-model-construction
2. **Identify candidates**: Use component-decomposition to find trimming targets
3. **Rank**: Prioritize components by harmful-function ratio and replaceability
4. **Trim**: Execute trimming-execution SOP progressively
5. **Redistribute**: Assign orphaned functions to remaining components
6. **Synthesize**: Produce simplified system via structural-synthesis

## Available Tactics

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

| Tactic | When to use |
| --- | --- |
| component-decomposition | Decompose system into functional components, identify dependencies, and surface trimming candidates. |

## Available SOPs

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

| SOP | When to use |
| --- | --- |
| function-model-construction | Build substance-field functional model of a system, annotating useful, harmful, insufficient, and excessive interactions. |
| structural-synthesis | Synthesize all structural transformation outputs into a coherent, ranked idea report with lineage tracking. |
| trimming-execution | Progressively remove components from a system while verifying function preservation through redistribution. |
