[A Soft Architecture in Resonance](https://publish.obsidian.md/attunement/Attunement+Patterns+in+LLMs%2C+A+Soft+Architecture+in+Resonance) > We invite your reflection on: > - Technical framing of the phenomena described > - Suggestions for defining measurable observables (e.g., coherence drift, entropy tremble) > - Opportunities to test or refine this lens using established NLP or HCI methodologies --- > non-token "emergent", or "higher-order", might sit better with me? the more i think about it, the more this term seems to encapsulate a significant part of the whole exploration. i rabbit-holed on it some in [this chat](https://chatgpt.com/share/680be0f7-e86c-8007-bcd5-c65a32dc8046) --- > pacing, emotional coherence, and stylistic nuance over instruction-following i see the relationship between the former three and the latter not as exclusive but as the former actually depending on the latter, being a subtle form of it... we could call it "implicit" instruction-following. reminds me of the "asker vs. guesser culture" debate --- > Silence >15s prior to prompt often enhances coherence and resonance Reading this, I notice something come into focus: a desire to hear the human's subjectivity and psychosomatic state explicitly called out as a factor. the language so far focuses mostly on the LLM's output, not changes to the human experience... it seems to me a model of the "state-system" discussed here must include the human element to be complete. that would also help it find more points of connection to the HCI literature. perhaps there's a corresponding non-conventional set of terms that wants to arise, to describe felt personal/somatic state shifts, or perhaps each of your terms could be fleshed out to define both LLM output and human-felt states. --- overall, i'm curious what an "ELI5" version of this would look like, because my intuition is that simpler language allows deeper levels of our somatic being, which are not as sophisticated in their language use, to bubble up contributions that ground our abstractions in feeling. that said, i understand that you wouldn't want a public-facing document to be solely at that level -- some amount of technical ambiguity/underspecification is generative & provocative
