Simiya Methodology (Being/Doing/Becoming)
What It Is
A three-layer ontological framework with 10 discovery operations and 10 validation invariants. Being (Porter's value chain) defines where activities sit. Doing (APQC's process classification) defines how work flows. Becoming (novel contribution) defines what emerges when entities transform. The 10 operations work on the Becoming layer using Being and Doing as scaffolding — each operation is mathematically defined and independently executable.
Why It Matters
Mapping what exists produces an inventory. Discovering what must emerge produces a generative intelligence. Porter and APQC map. Simiya discovers.
Porter and APQC are established scaffolding — accepted, well-understood, institutionally familiar. The Becoming layer is where the novel contribution sits: systematic discovery of entities that are structurally implied but never cataloged. Each of the 10 operations is mathematically defined: Levitation (FCA lattice), Production (Galois closure), Prediction (lattice completion), and seven others. The 10 invariants — compression, sovereignty, emergence, regeneration, anticipation, revelation, prediction, coherence, resonance, recursion — validate results across all three layers. The swarm architecture implements this operationally: 10 Haiku specialists run in parallel, with a Sonnet agent for synthesis, achieving 4-8x cost reduction over single-agent approaches.
Proof Points
- 10 operations: each with formal mathematical definition (FCA, Galois, natural transformations)
- 10 invariants: compression, sovereignty, emergence, regeneration, anticipation, revelation, prediction, coherence, resonance, recursion
- Three-phase pipeline: Frame (Porter + APQC alignment) -> Triplets (B/D/B extraction) -> Magic (10 parallel operations)
- Swarm architecture: 10 Haiku specialists + Sonnet synthesis = 4-8x cost reduction
- Implemented in Simiya Platform: 73 tests passing, deployed
- SimiyaID: 26 tools, 113 tests for entity enrichment
- Discovery Hub: 9 MCP tools, 10 adapters, 78 tests for multi-source discovery
- Patent-protected: USPTO 19/418,922
Market Position and IP
Patent-protected (USPTO 19/418,922). No competing framework provides mathematically grounded generative discovery of organizational ontology. EA frameworks (TOGAF, ArchiMate, Zachman) inventory what exists. Simiya discovers what must emerge. The 10-operation methodology is formally defined and computationally implemented — a deployable algorithm, not a consulting approach. Three production implementations (Platform, SimiyaID, Discovery Hub) with 264 combined tests.
Novel Research Contribution
Introduces the Being/Doing/Becoming ontological trichotomy as a formal framework for organizational discovery, published in the being-doing-becoming paper. The key insight: established scaffolding (Porter, APQC) provides the Being and Doing layers, enabling the novel Becoming layer to focus exclusively on generative discovery. The 10 operations formalize what "discovery" means with mathematical precision — each operation has defined inputs, outputs, and correctness invariants.
Implementation and Impact
Delivered through the Simiya Platform. Clients interact with the three-phase pipeline: Frame aligns to Porter + APQC, Triplets extract Being/Doing/Becoming per entity, Magic runs 10 parallel discovery operations. Output: domain ontology with gap predictions and materialization templates. Timeline: days, not the months that traditional EA requires.
