When brainstorming keeps producing the same five ideas, you're stuck in convergent thinking where solutions cluster around obvious patterns. This skill gives you diagnostic questions to identify whether you're trapped (same ideas surfacing) or just need to expand a seed, then walks you through structured protocols to break out. The Escape Velocity Protocol makes you explicitly list the defaults first, separate function from form, then systematically rotate who/when/scale/method axes until ideas stop feeling predictable. It includes a constraint-entropy tool that injects random actors and inversions to force exploration. Built on Steven Johnson's work on idea collisions, it treats ideation as a navigation problem rather than a generation problem.
