  • {Next Token Prediction} - Qapla'pu'bogh pattern: Model-pu' instructions-wIj Qapla'pu'bogh pattern-mey-logh, ghobe' understanding-logh. Gap-mey 'oH failures-pu' 'e' yIjatlh.
  • Capability zone - short, concrete, verifiable: Format specs, length limits, explicit roles - 'oH tlhapla'pu'bogh. Instruction-mey short-pu' pattern-match perfectly.
  • Limitation zone - long reasoning chains: Abstract instructions, numerical precision, dependent steps - 'oH failures-pu' characteristic. Reasoning drift compounds errors.
  • Letter-over-spirit failure: Instruction-mey literally honored, intent diluted. "Make shorter" - goal statement needed alongside instruction.
  • Checkpoints - mid-process verification: Step 2 result show before continuing. Gap between words and intent closes when you insert verification.
  • Product features addressing limits: System prompts, {code execution}, visible reasoning, structured outputs - 'oH solutions-pu'. Intent dilution prevented.
  • Prompt from goal, not format: "Convince team timeline realistic" - goal. "Three bullet points" - format only. Both needed. Format alone fails.
