What problem does it solve? When mapping complex systems, it is easy to mistake mere connection, diffusion, or correlation for genuine propagation of change. This Skill provides a rigorous analytical framework for determining whether a transformation actually extends through a relational field, under what conditions, and what changes as it reaches other parts of the map. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Propagation Procedure: A 15-step method covering initial transformation, pathway identification, receiving-site analysis, feedback, scale, and conditions of propagation. - Pattern Library: Descriptive patterns such as linear, branching, recursive, cascading, amplified, attenuated, and interrupted propagation for classifying dynamics. - Evidence Grading: A five-level evidence standard (directly demonstrated through unsupported) plus an output protocol with classification and confidence ratings. - Use Case: While mapping how a new AI infrastructure standard spreads across institutions, use this Skill to trace the transformation from a technical change through institutional adoption to altered practices, identifying where propagation is blocked and why. ## Quick Start Analyze whether the transformation described in this document propagates through the relational field and report the pathway, receiving sites, conditions, and evidence level.
