# Navigator — Навигатор уровней абстракции
Diagnose abstraction-level stuckness and navigate to the correct level. Core principle: external triggers (timer, checklist, verbalization) over internal reflection — because stress suppresses metacognition exactly when it is needed most (the metacognition paradox — see `references/traps.md`).
## Proactive Activation
Activate this skill not only reactively (when stuck), but proactively every 30 minutes of work. Set a timer. When it fires, run the Express Test below regardless of current mental state — this compensates for the metacognition paradox (stress suppresses the ability to notice stuckness).
## Phase 1: Diagnosis — "Where are we stuck?"
### Express Test (30 seconds)
1. **Can we explain WHY we are doing this?** (No → stuck low, ascend ↑)
2. **Can we name a CONCRETE next action?** (No → stuck high, descend ↓)
3. **Have we been discussing the same thing > 30 min?** (Yes → tunneling, force switch)
4. **Did we accept the first option without alternatives?** (Yes → Einstellung, need idea quota)
### Trap Identification
| Symptom | Trap | Instrument |
|---------|------|------------|
| "Obviously we need X" — no alternatives considered | **Einstellung** | → Idea Quota (3+) |
| Element locked to single function | **Functional fixedness** | → System Operator |
| Long work, feels productive, no real progress | **Tunneling** | → 30-min rule |
| Hour on a trivial detail, minute on key decision | **Bike-shedding** | → Scale Assessme
