Research, guides, and tools for LLM prompt optimization using the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem.
Latest and most important articles
OpenAI o1 and Claude thinking models spend 10-50x tokens on reasoning that is actually reconstructing missing specification bands. sinc prompts eliminate the gap.
Read articleThe sinc format is not imposed on the model. It is the model's own reconstruction process made explicit. All 4 agents converge to the same allocation.
Read articleEvery prompt you have ever written is broken. You give the model the task and nothing else. That is 1 sample of a 6-band signal.

A 75-year-old theorem from signal processing solves the newest problem in AI. Here is how sampling theory applies to prompts.
Read articleWhen a prompt undersamples the specification signal, the model fills gaps with hallucination, hedging, and generic patterns. That is aliasing.

Hallucination is specification aliasing from undersampled prompts. The fix is not more training. It is better sampling.
