Context Steering with Vector Landscapes

Using spatial controls to expand, contract, and reshape AI context with direct manipulation.

When you prompt an AI, you are trying to shape its context. Text alone is a blunt tool for this. Vector landscapes offer a more precise alternative: you manipulate context directly by moving through a spatial map of ideas.

The Core Idea

Concepts live in a high-dimensional vector space. By projecting this space into a navigable landscape, you can see and adjust the AI’s context visually. You might pull two clusters closer to encourage synthesis, or move a cluster away to reduce noise.

This is prompting with geometry rather than words.

What You Can Do

These operations are more intuitive than rewriting prompts repeatedly.

The Benefit

You gain fine-grained control over AI behavior. Instead of guessing how phrasing will affect the system, you can see the effect directly. This is especially powerful in creative work, strategy, or complex problem solving where nuance matters.

Human-AI Shared Context

The landscape becomes a shared workspace. You and the AI can see the same structure, which means you can align more effectively. You are not just communicating with words; you are manipulating the shape of the AI’s thinking space.

A More Intuitive Future

This approach points toward a future where you steer AI like you steer a map. You zoom, pan, highlight, and reshape. The AI adapts instantly. The result is a more transparent, collaborative, and precise way to work with intelligent systems.
