The Power of Resonance in Prompt Engineering
The concept of spatial modal multiplexing can be beautifully applied to prompt engineering, where each prompt is seen not just as a collection of words but as a finely attuned, multidimensional signal that carries both informational content and resonant intent. Here’s how this might work in practice: Layered Intent: Just as spatial modal multiplexing allows for multiple channels within a single...
