The focus is on integrating prompt engineering strategies into the research paper creation process, ensuring that your papers are effective in any of the six key areas: Pedagogy, Research, Deployment, Design, Philosophy, or Governance.

Key Concepts Explained:

Input States: These are the foundational elements that shape your research paper. They include aspects like the research question or hypothesis (Character), the data and literature review (Intelligence), the methodology and approach (Services), the intended audience (Community), and the tools or systems used (Systems). These Input States are crucial for ensuring that your research paper is rigorous and relevant.

Change States: These represent the active processes of developing your research paper. Change States include gathering and organizing data (Curation), engaging with peer reviewers and colleagues (Interaction), and writing and structuring the paper (Operation). Transitioning from Input States to Change States ensures that your research paper is not only informative but also strategically aligned and methodologically sound.

Output States: These are the final deliverables of your research paper, including its clarity and impact (Utility), adaptability to different contexts (Mobility), inclusiveness (Hospitality), coherence (Commodity), and alignment with academic or organizational standards (Identity). Refining Output States is essential for ensuring your research paper’s success.

Changes Flavours Compass: This tool helps you assess how well your research paper aligns with broader ethical principles like Freedom, Diversity, Inclusion, Fitness, Party, and Wellbeing. It ensures that your research paper is balanced and aligned with your governance goals.

Changes Balance Scale: This scale measures the alignment of each aspect of your research paper, from very low (1) to very high (5). The goal is to achieve a balanced state (3), where your research paper effectively communicates its findings without overemphasizing or neglecting any one area.

Step 1. Choices – Input States (Appetizer)
