## Quick Summary
sinc-LLM applies the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem to prompt engineering.
Every prompt is a signal. If you undersample it, the model hallucinates — specification aliasing.
The framework decomposes any raw prompt into 6 frequency bands for faithful reconstruction.

## The 6 Frequency Bands
- n=0 PERSONA (7.0% quality weight) — WHO should answer. The exact expert type.
- n=1 CONTEXT (6.3%) — Background facts, dates, numbers, situation.
- n=2 DATA (3.8%) — Specific inputs, metrics, data points.
- n=3 CONSTRAINTS (42.7%) — Rules: NEVER/ALWAYS/MUST. Longest band. Carries most quality.
- n=4 FORMAT (26.3%) — Exact output structure — sections, tables, lists.
- n=5 TASK (2.8%) — The specific objective as a clear imperative.

## Formula
x(t) = Sigma x(nT) * sinc((t - nT) / T)
SNR = 0.588 + 0.267 * G(Z1) * H(Z2) * R(Z3) * G(Z4)
