Prompting as negotiation
Prompts as negotiated proposals, refusals, corrections, constraints, and asymmetries rather than one-way commands.
Reflection
Prompting is treated here as negotiation. The interesting unit is not a single prompt but the back-and-forth shape: proposal, resistance, reframing, evidence, and revision.
Interpretation
This node is one of the clearest bridges into Meaning Negotiation. A prompt does not simply instruct a tool; it stages a relation between intention, model behavior, constraint, refusal, hallucination, curation, and later public interpretation.
Process
This research note will later compare prompt routines across writing, design, coding, and public prototype work.
