A Pattern Language for Knowledge Engineering with Large Language Models

Interaction Language

Defines explicit meanings for terms, symbols, and commands so the model follows convention instead of inference.

Problem

Ambiguous terms and commands drift across turns, causing inconsistent interpretation even when responses look coherent.

Solution

Define shared term meanings, operators, and notation conventions up front. Fixed local conventions anchor interpretation and reduce semantic drift throughout the session.
