From Theory to Protocol: Executable Frameworks for Creative Emergence and Strategic Foresight

Creativity and strategic foresight have been extensively studied through descriptive theories — Koestler's bisociation (1964), de Bono's lateral thinking (1967), and Ansoff's weak signals (1975) explain why creative and strategic insights occur, but offer limited guidance on how to produce them on demand. This paper presents two executable protocols that bridge this theory-practice gap: GHOSTY COLLIDER, a 5-step protocol for cross-domain creative emergence through structural de-labeling and collision, and PRECOG PROTOCOL, a 5-step protocol for signal-based strategic foresight with multi-axis timing judgment. We evaluate the protocols through five detailed case studies across distinct domains, controlled comparisons against standard methods, and a batch experiment (N=8, success rate 87.5%) with one blind evaluation.
