- What it does
- Give a prompt five ingredients or leave them out, then pile on word rules. One note goes vague, rigid or right, and the facts it kept and the details it invented are counted.
- Who it is for
- For anyone who writes prompts and wonders why the most detailed one is not always the best.
Notes from the making (1)
- Rebuilt the supplied “Signal Flow” prototype. Its three-way switch and unmeasured percentages became one worked note, five ingredients that each guard against one failure, and four word rules checked on the result. Counts are of the note on screen. A toy writer, not live model output.
