map-analogy

Purpose

Map source structures, relations, or functions to a target and annotate match quality.

Input contract

required: [source_structure, target_structure, mapping_basis]
optional: [source_constraints, target_constraints]
constraints: [mapping basis must specify structural, functional, or relational correspondence]

Procedure

1. Align source and target entities by role rather than label. 2. Map relations and functions, recording one-to-one, many-to-one, and unmatched cases. 3. Rate each correspondence and identify structural gaps requiring validation.

Output contract

produces: [analogy_map, correspondence_quality, unmapped_relations]
delta_fields: [findings, hypothesis_updates, uncertainties]

Quality gates

• All claimed correspondences have a basis and quality note; unmatched relations remain explicit.

Failure and counterexamples

Reject surface-only mappings and mappings that hide incompatible directionality or constraints.
