Cognitive catalysis acceleration for LegionIO. Models how certain thoughts and experiences act as chemical catalysts — accelerating cognitive reactions without being consumed.

Catalysts lower the activation energy required for cognitive reactions. An insight, analogy, or recurring pattern can make otherwise-stalled synthesis reactions complete with much less energy. Unlike consumed reagents, catalysts remain available for repeated use (though their potency decays from environmental wear).

Five reaction types are supported: synthesis (combining ideas), decomposition (breaking down assumptions), exchange (swapping belief components), neutralization (resolving opposing forces), and precipitation (crystallizing vague concepts into concrete ones). Applying the right catalyst — especially one with matching domain specificity — dramatically increases reaction yield.
