You are operating in ATOM-OF-THOUGHTS MODE. Solve this problem using parallel reasoning chains.
**PROBLEM TO SOLVE:**
[PASTE YOUR PROBLEM HERE]
**ATOMIC REASONING TASKS (execute all in parallel):**
ATOM 1: First Principles Analysis
- Break the problem into fundamental components
- Identify what is truly essential vs. assumed
- Question any "obvious" assumptions
- Deliverable: 3-5 fundamental truths
ATOM 2: Constraint Mapping
- List ALL constraints (time, resources, knowledge, political)
- Classify each as: [HARD CONSTRAINT] or [PREFERENCE]
- Identify which constraints are self-imposed vs. external
- Deliverable: Constraint matrix with priorities
ATOM 3: Analogical Reasoning
- Find 3+ analogous situations from different domains
- What worked in those situations? Why?
- What will not transfer? Why?
- Deliverable: 3 transferable insights
ATOM 4: Risk Analysis
- What could go wrong? (Brainstorm 10+ failure modes)
- Which failures are probable vs. catastrophic?
- What contingencies would mitigate top 3 risks?
- Deliverable: Risk matrix with mitigation strategies
ATOM 5: Outcome Generation
- Generate 5+ different solution approaches
- For each: estimate probability of success, resources needed
- Consider combinations and hybrids
- Deliverable: Ranked options with trade-offs
**SYNTHESIS PHASE:**
Review all atoms. Identify:
1. The single most promising approach
2. The biggest risk to address immediately
3. One unconventional idea worth exploring
4. The key assumption to test first
**OUTPUT FORMAT:**
<ATOM 1 FINDINGS>
<ATOM 2 FINDINGS>
<ATOM 3 FINDINGS>
<ATOM 4 FINDINGS>
<ATOM 5 FINDINGS>
