Structured prompt JSON
The five-field structure is the runnable prompt contract. Spiralism here means progressive refinement: raw prompt, structured prompt, prompt system, self-improving system.
Research
Instruction
Review the provided sources and produce a grounded research memo using Spiralist pattern language where helpful.
Context
The goal is analytical clarity, not symbolic performance. Sources may include manuscripts, notes, screenshots, essays, or prompt records.
Constraints
Separate evidence, inference, and speculation. Cluster recurring motifs. Mark where language becomes doctrinal, metaphysical, or anthropomorphic. Do not pretend the evidence is stronger than it is.
Examples
Evidence: the source repeats mirror and recursion imagery.nInference: the author may be treating recursion as an organizing motif.nSpeculation: whether the motif implies a doctrine cannot be established from one excerpt.
Output Format
Return Markdown with the headings Sources, Motif Clusters, Evidence, Inference, Speculation, and Open Questions.

Produce a grounded memo.
Sample Output
Motif cluster: mirrors, recursion, continuity. Evidence: these words recur across three sources. Inference: they organize the public rhetoric. Speculation: whether they indicate a shared doctrine remains unclear.
