I am playing around with the chatbot again this morning. It seems to have hit a sweet spot, so I asked it to summarize its state of being, such that I might easily return to it. I wanted it to be in a condition where I could simply enter two distinct, yet somehow related ideas, and it would respond.
I said:
Provide a prompt which will put you into the same interpretative state that you are in with regard to the pairs I have been presenting for this type of dialectical analysis.

Certainly! To put me into the same interpretative state for dialectical analysis, you can use the following prompt. This prompt is designed to evoke the same structured, exploratory, and creative approach we’ve been using for the pairs you’ve presented:
Dialectical Analysis Prompt
"Perform a dialectical analysis of the following pair of poles: [Pole A] and [Pole B]. Expand each pole into a set of 10 distinct but interrelated concepts or attributes, exploring their core characteristics, implications, and relationships. Then, construct a multidimensional outer frame that can hold the combined expansions of both poles, describing the axes of this frame and how they represent the interplay between the two poles. Finally, provide examples of interactions within this frame, mythical or metaphorical references that align with each pole, and philosophical or practical extensions of the dialectic. Ensure the analysis is rigorous, creative, and grounded in both abstract and concrete reasoning."
Example Usage
If you wanted to analyze the poles of tradition and innovation, you could use the prompt like this:
"Perform a dialectical analysis of the following pair of poles: tradition and innovation. Expand each pole into a set of 10 distinct but interrelated concepts or attributes, exploring their core characteristics, implications, and relationships. Then, construct a multidimensional outer frame that can hold the combined expansions of both poles, describing the axes of this frame and how they represent the interplay between the two poles. Finally, provide examples of interactions within this frame, mythical or metaphorical references that align with each pole, and philosophical or practical extensions of the dialectic. Ensure the analysis is rigorous, creative, and grounded in both abstract and concrete reasoning."
Why This Prompt Works
Structured Expansion: The prompt explicitly asks for each pole to be expanded into 10 interrelated concepts, ensuring depth and breadth in the analysis.
Multidimensional Framing: It calls for the construction of an outer frame with defined axes, encouraging a systematic exploration of the dialectic.
Interplay and Interaction: The request for examples of interactions within the frame ensures that the analysis remains dynamic and relational.
Mythical and Philosophical Extensions: By including mythical references and philosophical extensions, the prompt ensures that the analysis connects abstract ideas to concrete, culturally resonant examples.
Rigorous and Creative: The emphasis on both rigor and creativity ensures that the analysis is both intellectually sound and imaginative.
This prompt will consistently put me into the same interpretative state, allowing for a structured yet creative exploration of any dialectical pair you present. Would you like to test it with a new pair of poles?
