Every answer changes the next thought.

Recognising the feedback of AI answers lets us use models without surrendering our judgement to their linguistic confidence.

// THE LOOP

Keep influence visible, do not resist it

We talk about prompts as if influence moved in one direction. Real work creates a loop: an answer changes which option feels plausible, which question comes next and which doubts still receive space. The essential skill is not to resist every influence, but to keep it visible.

03 · Feedback loopRepetition turns an early possibility into an apparent fact.

CORE METHOD

The judgement record

It separates starting question, suggested direction, inherited assumptions, alternative, provenance, counter-test and decision. This keeps source, inference, assumption and judgement legible.

EXAMINE HOW AN ANSWER SHAPES YOU

Mark the suggested direction, detect mirroring, separate provenance, create a counter-voice and reclaim the decision deliberately.
