LLM "curving" via prompting

Thank you again, John. Your comments have been incredibly valuable throughout this process. What I particularly appreciate is that you’re not just critiquing the idea—you’ve been helping transform it into something much more testable and reproducible. Each of your replies has helped clarify the path forward. Following your suggestions, I’m now separating the project into distinct documents (the conceptual framework, the experimental protocol, and a mechanistic roadmap), and I’ll also add a neutral “measurement contract” so that future collaborators can reproduce the metrics independently of the theoretical interpretation. I think that’s an important improvement. Even if you’re not able to contribute technically, your documentation-oriented perspective is already making a real difference. Thank you for taking the time to think so carefully about the project. If, at some point, you happen to know someone working in mechanistic interpretability or hidden-state analysis who might be interested in testing this protocol, I’d be very grateful for an introduction. I think your roadmap would be an excellent starting point for that kind of collaboration. Thank you again for all your time and thoughtful feedback. Allan
