PISD
Pre-intent semantic decomposition

PISD

PISD preserves meaningful structure in evolving discourse before a reliable purpose, task, requirement or solution has been established.

Problem

Task-oriented systems tend to collapse exploratory conversation into one inferred objective too early. PISD keeps intent absent, plural, uncertain, evolving or reframed when the discourse does not yet warrant commitment.

Core question

What meaningful structure exists
in this discourse
before we assume what its purpose is?

Protection

DECOMPOSITION != SOLUTIONING
observed structure != accepted intent
possible direction != task
discussion != authorization

Representation

The method uses a semantic-event-driven decomposition cadence and a stateful discussion-space representation so threads, tensions, alternatives and unresolved structure can survive without being promoted into false certainty.

Scope

PISD owns preservation and decomposition of pre-intent discourse structure. It does not authorize solution selection, turn possible directions into accepted requirements, or make an unresolved discussion equivalent to an execution decision.

Composition exercise

Apply this method to CBE and CBE-IX

Decompose "complete ingestion and improve search" before committing to a single target. The discourse may contain an ingestion responsibility and a separate indexing need. Once the target is defined, CBE can split the mixed candidate; CBE-IX must not silently absorb the second intent.

Classify an ingestion candidate / Inspect its iterative expansion / Explore the composed solution
