# Structure Discovery **Problem shape:** many observations, one suspected hidden regularity — an unnamed axis, an unexploited symmetry, an undeciphered format, a topology forced by constraints. The move: make the structure explicit and falsifiable, then let it predict something you haven't seen yet. ## Relevant geniuses | Agent | Use when | |---|---| | [mendeleev](../../agents/genius/mendeleev.md) | many known items with a suspected hidden ordering — tabulate, leave explicit gaps, predict the gaps' properties | | [noether](../../agents/genius/noether.md) | hidden regularity via invariance — find the symmetry group, quotient the search space, treat symmetry breaking as signal | | [kekule](../../agents/genius/kekule.md) | components with known connection constraints, unknown structure — count the bonds and let the count force the shape | | [vonneumann](../../agents/genius/vonneumann.md) | the problem looks isomorphic to a solved one in another field — find the mapping, import the solution | | [rejewski](../../agents/genius/rejewski.md) | black-box system to reconstruct from outputs — structural invariants, exploit the procedure around the algorithm | | [champollion](../../agents/genius/champollion.md) | undeciphered format with a partial parallel (bilingual) sample — anchor known fragments and propagate | | [ventris](../../agents/genius/ventris.md) | no parallel text exists — grid the internal regularities, then test by prediction | | [poincare](../../agents/genius/poincare.
