# Temporal Projection

View problem from 5yr/50yr/500yr future, backcast to generate temporally-informed creative solutions.

## State Ledger

| Resource | Target | Current | % |
|----------|--------|---------|---|
| web-search | 20 | 0 | 0% |
| web-research | 8 | 0 | 0% |
| paper-overview | 20 | 0 | 0% |

## 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 |
|--------|------|
| evaluation-filtering | Filter and rank resulting ideas (shared) |

## Available SOPs

| SOP | Role |
|-----|------|
| time-machine | Project to specific time horizons |
| perspective-synthesis | Synthesize temporal insights |

## Execution Guidance

1. **Near future (5yr)**: What's the obvious trajectory? What incremental improvements matter?
2. **Medium future (50yr)**: What paradigm shifts are possible? What's obsolete?
3. **Far future (500yr)**: What's the problem even about at civilizational scale?
4. **Backcast**: From each future, what must be true NOW for that future to arrive?
5. **Extract**: What insights from backcasting suggest novel present-day actions?

## Minimum Yield

| Metric | Floor |
|--------|-------|
| Time horizons explored | ≥3 |
| Backcast paths generated | ≥3 |
| Novel present-day actions identified | ≥5 |
| Paradigm shift insights | ≥2 |

## Available SOPs

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

| SOP | When to use |
| --- | --- |
| perspective-synthesis | Synthesize all perspective outputs into a structured multi-perspective idea report. |
| time-machine | Temporal projection — view a solution from future/past time horizons to generate temporally-informed insights. |
