This research introduces $\mathrm{TRIZ}^{a}$, a framework that integrates classical inventive problem-solving theory with LLM-driven agent search to replace random mutation with structured ideation in R&D automation. Validated on cybersecurity datasets, the approach demonstrates measurable improvements in model performance while maintaining full traceability from contradiction identification to code transformation. By grounding agent evolution in established engineering principles, this work offers a pathway toward more explainable and robust AI solution generation.
$\mathrm{TRIZ}^{a}$: Guiding Agent Evolution from Pattern Recognition to Solution Invention
arXiv:2610.04555v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose $\mathrm{TRIZ}^{a}$ (TRIZ exponentiated by an agent), a general R\&D automation paradigm that combines TRIZ inventive theory with LLM-driven agent evolutionary search. TRIZ's 40 inventive principles and contradiction matrix provide structured, explainable directions for solution generation, replacing random or untyped mutation with theory-guided ideation. Functional information (FI), operationalized under a frozen reference contract, is combined with TRIZ Ideality to measure useful and harmful function on a commensurable information scale, while hard gates keep promotion distinct from metric improvement. We validate $\mathrm{TRIZ}^{a}$ in cybersecurity--an adversarial and rapidly evolving domain--on PowerDuck GOOSE, CICIoT2023, and CIC-DDoS2019. Under paired-rerun protocols with protocol fingerprinting and hard-gate validation, the legacy experiments yield absolute F1 improvements of $+2.88$, $+4.23$, and $+0.15$ percentage points, respectively. A completed 45-activity CICIoT2023 campaign further increases macro-F1 from $0.8325$ to $0.8483$, but does not pass its frozen promotion gate. Every result remains traceable from contradiction identification and TRIZ principle selection to code transformation, evaluation metrics, and promotion decision.
