IterativeDepth

Structured multi-angle exploration running 2-8 sequential passes over the same problem, each through a different scientific lens, to surface hidden requirements and edge cases invisible from one angle; each pass yields new ISC criteria. USE WHEN iterative depth, explore deeper, multi-angle analysis, surface hidden requirements, blind spot check, what am I missing. NOT FOR scope/zoom analysis (use ApertureOscillation).

# IterativeDepth

IterativeDepth examines one problem through several structurally different lenses (literal, stakeholder, failure, temporal and more) and merges what each angle surfaces into ISC criteria a single pass misses. The method rests on 20 established techniques across cognitive science, AI/ML, requirements engineering and design thinking (`ScientificFoundation.md`).

## Ideal State

- A run returns ISC criteria and anti-criteria that a single pass over the same problem would have missed, each one binary-testable and deduplicated across lenses.
- The lenses fit the problem (a security problem leans on the failure and adversary angles, a UX problem on the experiential one). A run uses between two and eight passes and ends once a pass only repeats earlier findings, usually by about the fifth.
- The result names the lenses used and the cross-angle finding that only appeared because two lenses collided.
