Latent Tools

Expand a concept into a rich conceptual landscape. Each model interaction is a big bang into a dark forest — every concept in the context window illuminates paths the model can explore. Latent tools give your agents a flashlight.

Three modes of expansion

Depth — follow one conceptual path deep into the forest. Hierarchical decomposition, domain-specific formalization, edge cases, failure modes, historical evolution. Narrow but thorough.

Breadth — shine light in all directions from where you stand. Isomorphic structures across domains, orthogonal dimensions, cross-disciplinary connections, contrasts and inversions. Wide but shallow.

Bridge — given two concepts, find shared abstractions, transformation paths, and unexpected connections between them. The space between ideas is often where the best thinking happens.

Capabilities

  • latent.expand — Expand a seed concept via depth, breadth, or bridge mode. Returns a dense summary for context injection or a structured graph (nodes + edges) for programmatic traversal. Adjustable intensity (1-3 levels) scales model and output size

Output formats

Summary (default) — dense prose optimized for context window injection. Each sentence introduces or connects ideas that activate new reasoning paths. Includes a concept list and dimension count.

Graph — structured nodes and edges for programmatic use. Each node has a label, domain, relation type, and weight. Edges describe the structural relationship between concepts. Designed for future integration with LOD systems and Attention Cloud.

Composes with

Inject summary output into agent context windows as priming material. Use graph output with Prism for visualization or Data + Frame to filter and reshape concept graphs. Results are cached via cache_ref like all other DataGrout tools.
