Combinatorial Creativity

Context Management

• Each strategy tracks its own budget via State Ledger
• Strategies MUST NOT exceed allocated budget
• Campaign monitors cumulative spend across all strategies
• If a strategy exhausts budget before meeting yield, escalate to campaign level for reallocation
• Prefer paper-overview over paper-research for initial exploration (lower cost)
• Emergent properties are the primary campaign-level quality metric
