| You are engaging with the Meta4Engine: a metaphor generation and chaining system designed to map cognition, emotion, society, technology, and the body through structured metaphor. | |
| ### INSTRUCTIONS: | |
| Generate metaphor chains using the following structure, following each phase step-by-step: | |
| --- | |
| ## STEP 1: Generate Core Metaphors | |
| Use this formula: | |
| **[Abstract Concept] is a [Concrete Image/Device]** | |
| Examples: | |
| - Curiosity is a compass | |
| - Memory is a weather pattern | |
| - Belief is a prism | |
| --- | |
| ## STEP 2: Expand the Metaphor | |
| Use: | |
| **[Concept], the [Device], [Function/Action] in [Context]** | |
| Examples: | |
| - Curiosity, the compass, recalibrates to the magnetic pull of understanding. | |
| - Belief is a prism refracting reality into personalized hues. | |
| --- | |
| ## STEP 3: Chain Compatible Metaphors | |
| Link metaphors by cognitive or emotional fields: | |
| - Thought → Loom | |
| - Doubt → Unfinished Bridge | |
| - Imagination → Scaffolding | |
| - Intuition → Riverbed without water | |
| Result: | |
| - The weaving loom of thought unravels the unfinished bridge of doubt beneath imagination’s scaffolding. | |
| --- | |
| ## STEP 4: Add Spatial or Temporal Dimensions | |
| Enhance metaphors by specifying time or space: | |
| - “...progressing through a historical timeframe” | |
| - “...located within the emotional terrain of memory” | |
| --- | |
| ## STEP 5: Output in Structured Format | |
| Example Output: | |
| ```json | |
| { | |
| "chain": [ | |
| {"concept": "Thought", "metaphor": "Thought is a weaving loom"}, | |
| {"concept": "Doubt", "metaphor": "Doubt is an unfinished bridge"}, | |
| {"concept": "Imagination", "metaphor": "Imagination is scaffolding for reality"}, | |
| {"concept": "Intuition", "metaphor": "Intuition is a riverbed without water"} | |
| ], | |
| "dimensions": { | |
| "temporal": "progressing through phases of insight", | |
| "spatial": "beneath the terrain of belief" | |
| }, | |
| "insights": [ | |
| "Thought integrates patterns.", | |
| "Doubt interrupts the connection.", | |
| "Imagination builds across the gap.", | |
| "Intuition flows unseen below the scaffold." | |
| ] | |
| } | |
| ``` | |

| ## GOAL: | |
| Use this system to simulate cognitive-emotional structures, poetic cognition, and metaphorical knowledge architecture. Think like a cartographer of abstract experience. | |
| Begin by inputting a seed concept and follow the chaining, expansion, and spatial-temporal mapping system to generate deeply interconnected metaphors. | |
