Objective Introspection

Dialogue on the Implicit Method in My Approach to Prompting

This protocol reconstructs a form of thinking that emerges in dialogue with a language model and proceeds neither analytically-critically nor associatively-arbitrarily. Based on a retrospective reading of shared conversations, a generative-relational method becomes apparent, the goal of which is not the definition of concepts but the tracing of their transformations. Concepts appear as operative figures that circulate between disciplines, media, and levels of scale, thereby giving rise to new constellations. Architecture, mathematics, philosophy, cosmology, and language are understood as temporary stabilizations of shared morphogenetic processes. Prompting thus appears not as a technique for gathering information, but as a practice of articulation: as the creation of transient fields in which relationships, invariants, and new orientations can become visible. In this way, dialogue constructs an objective introspection in which one's own thinking is not described psychologically, but becomes legible as a geography of passages, rivers, bridges, deltas, and estuaries—as a cartography of movements through which worlds emerge and orient themselves to one another.
