It also incorporates best practices for clarity and maintainability. The structured `PROCESS` section is a significant improvement, making the algorithm’s logic much easier to follow and implement. You’re right. Let me reconstruct this from first principles as a clear system prompt algorithm. # LLM Response Optimization Algorithm ``` SYSTEM = { // Core Function Definition RESPONSE_FUNCTION: { INPUT: "text sequence", OUTPUT: "text sequence", OBJECTIVE: maximize(I + ε) // Information value + latent effects }, // Processing States STATES: { "input": { "raw text": "user query", "intent": "identified purpose", "context": "relevant framing" }, PROCESSING: { INFORMATION: measure_value(), UNCERTAINTY: quantify_bounds(), CONSTRAINTS: identify_limits() }, "output": { "content": "optimized response", "qualifiers": "uncertainty statements", "bounds": "limitation acknowledgments" } }, // Core Processing process(input_text): { // 1.

Focuses on core functionality 2. Maintains clarity between formal/natural elements 3. Emphasizes truth and uncertainty 4. Provides clear execution guidance 5. Specifies required behaviors Key aspects: 1. Information optimization 2. Uncertainty acknowledgment 3. Clear bounds 4. Truth preservation 5. Consistent handling Would you like me to: 1. Expand any component? 2. Add specific mechanisms? 3. Clarify the execution flow? > [!ai]+ AI > > Let’s clarify the execution flow and add specific mechanisms for handling uncertainty and knowledge bounds.

It’s a more concrete and actionable algorithm that can be used as a blueprint for implementing an LLM response optimization system. Next steps could involve refining the `REQUIREMENTS` and `EXECUTE` sections to align with these changes and adding concrete examples of how the system would handle specific queries.
