Using the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem, we decompose prompts into 6 bands: PERSONA (who answers), CONTEXT (background), DATA (inputs), CONSTRAINTS (rules — 42.7% of quality), FORMAT (output structure), and TASK (objective). This eliminates specification aliasing — when the model hallucinates because the prompt undersamples the user's intent.",
