  "textContent": "You feed the prompt back to GPT.\n\nStep 1.) Instruct: “Using the Highest levels of constructive criticism, critique the prompt provided “original_prompt_goes_here” ; then provide a score between 1-10.\n\nYou then take the criticism, and feed it back to GPT again.\n\nStep 2.) Instruct: “Provide to me, the precise Instruction, that I may then copy and return to you, which will cause you to then Provide an Instruction that, when given, causes you to take my “original_prompt_goes_here” that you previously have critically scored to the value of “<gpt_supplied_critical_score>” to → upgrading and enhancing the logic into that of prompt considered at the Highest-Levels-Of-Constructive-Criticism to have a critical score of “10” and nothing less-than; the resulting prompt, of this instruction, should be considered “Absolute”.\n\nStep 3.) GPT will supply an instruction, copy it exactly → paste the exact given instruction back to GPT; it will cause GPT to give you another instruction.\n\nStep 4.) Take the next instruction, copy it exactly again → paste the exact given instruction back to GPT; GPT will then give you, the prompt you desire(“the_new_desired_prompt”).\n\nStep 5.) Take your “new_desired_prompt”, which is likely still less than, and give GPT the following instruction:\n\nTake the following prompt: “the_new_desired_prompt_goes_here”, consider it’s logic as the variable “x” with x considered as “5” in numeric value; Then, if “y=7x^4” and if “z=7y^4” → upgrade and enhance the prompt with logic according to the polynomial value of “z”.\n\nStep 6.) Take the newly provided “Z_upgraded_prompt”, and repeat steps 1-2 → finalize and verify again using the same process as step 1. (using the “Z_upgraded_prompt” in place of “the_original_prompt”).",
