I’ve been writing a non-technical essay with Quantum Country-style embedded memory prompts. Tough bc the material’s less definite—heuristics/lenses instead of definitions/facts. Interestingly, the prompts push around the prose, made me rewrite several sections to be more precise.

I have strategies for writing prompts for myself about such fuzzy topics, but they often don’t translate well to writing prompts for *others* about same.

I have had the feeling that doing this would force greater precision in my writing.

I haven’t written enough mnemonic texts to know, really! My approach was to write a solid draft, then to start adding prompts, which substantially influenced the continued revisions of the draft.
