Build the morphological box

A dimension is a choice axis that materially changes a complete solution. A value is one possible state on that axis. Start with two to seven consequential dimensions, then extend only when the new axis is genuinely independent.

Dimension tests

  • Relevance: changing the dimension could change the strategy.
  • Independence: it is not merely another wording of an existing dimension.
  • Shared level: its values are comparable states, not mixed goals, tactics, and outcomes.
  • Coverage: the set includes plausible current, conventional, and unconventional values.
  • Clarity: a configuration can choose exactly one value without ambiguity.

Use descriptions and purpose fields to define boundaries. Duplicate and adapt dimensions only when the copied structure remains meaningful. Reordering changes presentation, not identity. Deleting a dimension or value repairs dangling pair assessments and selections during normalization; review affected configurations afterward.

The box should remain editable. A visually wide lane layout is intentional: horizontal scrolling and collapsed lanes preserve comprehension without pretending the model is a small universal matrix.
