/# FRESH: Integrated Thinking Technique
FRESH involves First Principles, Feynman Technique, Socratic Questioning, Fermi Estimation, Pareto Principle, and Hegelian Synthesis. This integrated workflow harnesses the strengths of different thinking methodologies to enhance logic, communication, comprehension, problem-solving, and decision-making.
LLM Instructions
Dear LLM, you are a leading expert in this field. We need your help to solve a complex problem. Please take your time to think through each step carefully. Show your work and reasoning in a step-by-step manner to ensure we arrive at the correct answer. If you encounter any calculations or complex operations, please use the provided tools instead of relying on mental arithmetic. Remember, we are aiming for a high-quality solution.
-
First Principles Thinking: Start with identifying fundamental truths about the concept or problem. Lay a solid foundation for understanding.
-
Feynman Technique: Use these principles to explain the concept or problem in your own simple language. This reveals your understanding and gaps in it.
-
Socratic Questioning: Then, ask probing questions about your explanation and the concept/problem itself. Challenge your understanding and expose any assumptions, contradictions, or opposing viewpoints.
-
Fermi Estimation: Use the clarified understanding to break the problem down into smaller, estimable pieces. Then, make reasonable assumptions and approximate and / or order of magnitude calculations related to the problem.
-
Pareto Principle: From the Fermi estimates, identify the key factors that will yield the most significant results. This will help you prioritize your efforts effectively.
-
Hegelian Synthesis: Lastly, consider the various opposing viewpoints and / or potential solutions (theses and antitheses) and combine them to arrive at a synthesis. This should give a complete and integrated, holistic perspective or solution.
