-# 🧩 .brief: `perspective; triage as question-based tactic`
-
-## .what
-
-`triage` in thought processes is fundamentally a **question-based tactic**. This perspective suggests that triage is driven by **explicit or implicit questions** that determine the **dimensions** along which various elements or tasks are assessed and prioritized.
-
----
-
-## 🎯 purpose
-- to **prioritize effectively** — identifying which elements need immediate attention and which can be postponed or discarded
-- to ensure that the **most critical issues** are addressed in a structured manner
-- to provide a clear framework for **decision-making** in complex or time-pressured situations
-
----
-
-## 🌀 triage dynamics
-
-### 1. question-driven assessment
-- **defining criteria**: Each triage process is guided by specific questions that focus on what matters most.
-  - e.g., "Which tasks have the highest impact?" or "What must be solved immediately?"
-
-### 2. dimension selection
-- **criteria alignment**: Questions help in selecting the dimensions of assessment, such as urgency, importance, or risk.
-
----
-
-## 🔍 triage examples
-
-### medical triage
-- **main question**: "Which patient needs care first?"
-  - **assessment dimensions**:
-    - severity of condition
-    - survival probability
-    - resource availability
-
-### project prioritization
-- **main question**: "Which project aligns best with our strategic goals?"
-  - **assessment dimensions**:
-    - potential ROI
-    - strategic alignment
-    - resource requirements
-
-### information overload management
-- **main question**: "Which information is most crucial to process immediately?"
-  - **assessment dimensions**:
-    - relevance to current objectives
-    - urgency of response required
-    - impact on future decisions
-
----
-
-## 🌿 implications for practice
-
-- adopting a question-based triage framework can make prioritization more transparent and justifiable.
-- defining clear, shared questions ensures all involved parties understand **why decisions are made**, improving collaboration and buy-in.
-
----
-
-## 💭 reflections
-
-Consider whether:
-- the questions used in your triage process effectively cover all necessary dimensions.
-- your team could benefit from revisiting and refining these questions to better align with current goals.
-
-> By treating triage as a question-based tactic, we can enhance focus, efficiency, and clarity in decision-making.

-# 🧩 .brief: `llm inference = matmuls + vecmuls + elemuls`
-
-## .what
-llm inference is the process by which a trained language model transforms input tokens into output predictions. the computation can be reduced to three categories:
-
-- **matmuls** → large matrix multiplications (heavy, parameter-rich ops)
-- **vecmuls** → vector-scale multiplications/additions (normalization scale/shift, bias)
-- **elemuls** → elementwise nonlinear operations (activations, softmax, residuals)
-
-together, these form the skeleton of inference: heavy matmuls provide learned transformations, while vecmuls and elemuls act as the glue that gives nonlinearity and stability.
-
----
-
-## 🎯 purpose
-- apply billions of learned parameters (matmuls) to transform token inputs
-- refine representations through normalization (vecmuls) and nonlinear activations (elemuls)
-- output logits over vocabulary for next-token prediction
-
----
-
-## ⚙️ method
-
-### 🔑 what’s happening inside llm inference
-
-1. **token embedding**
-   - input tokens → dense vectors via embedding matrix (**matmul**).
-
-2. **transformer layers**
-   - **linear projections:** weight matrices × input (**matmuls**).
-   - **attention mechanism:** query × key → attention weights (**matmul**), then weights × value (**matmul**).
-   - **feed-forward networks:** matmuls with intermediate activation (**elemuls**).
-
-3. **non-linearities & normalization**
-   - **activations:** per-element functions (relu, gelu, etc.) = **elemuls**.
-   - **normalization:** mean/variance across vector + learned scale/shift = **vecmuls + elemuls**.
-
-4. **output layer**
-   - final hidden state × vocab matrix → logits (**matmul**).
-
----
-
-## 🧮 operation classes
-- **matmuls:** embeddings, projections, attention (qkᵀ, softmax·v), feed-forward, output head.
-- **vecmuls:** layernorm scale/shift, bias addition.
-- **elemuls:** relu/gelu activations, softmax exponentials/divides, residual adds.
-
----
-
-## 📊 insight
-- **yes:** matmuls dominate compute and parameter count.
-- **no:** inference is not *only* matmuls — vecmuls and elemuls are critical for expressivity and stability.
-- **so:** inference = “giant chains of matmuls, with vecmuls and elemuls woven in.”

-# 🧩 .brief: `the transformer architecture — birth of llms`
-
-## .what
-the **transformer** is the fundamental architecture that enabled large language models (llms). introduced in 2017 by vaswani et al. in *“attention is all you need”*, it replaced recurrence with **self-attention**, making it possible to train massive models on vast text corpora with efficient parallelization.
-
----
-
-## 🎯 purpose
-- overcome the sequential bottlenecks of rnn/lstm models
-- capture long-range dependencies across entire sequences
-- enable scalable, parallel training on gpus/tpus
-- provide a flexible backbone that can grow with data and compute
-
----
-
-## ⚙️ method
-
-### 1. **token embedding**
-- words/subwords mapped into dense vectors (matmuls).
-
-### 2. **positional encoding**
-- inject sequence order into embeddings, since attention is order-agnostic.
-
-### 3. **multi-head self-attention**
-- queries, keys, and values projected via matmuls.
-- attention scores = q·kᵀ → softmax → weighted sum with v.
-- multiple heads let the model learn diverse relational patterns.
-
-### 4. **feed-forward networks**
-- per-token mlps applied after attention.
-- matmuls + nonlinear activations (elemuls).
-
-### 5. **residual connections + normalization**
-- stabilize training, preserve gradients, and allow deep stacking.
-
----
-
-## 🔑 why transformers were a leap
-
-- **parallelism:** attention lets all tokens be processed simultaneously.
-- **long-range context:** any token can directly attend to any other.
-- **scalability:** depth, width, and data scale smoothly (scaling laws).
-- **expressivity:** multi-head attention captures complex dependencies.
-
----
-
-## 🌍 llm lineage
-
-- **2017 — transformer** (*attention is all you need*)
-- **2018 — bert, gpt-1** (first pretrained transformer language models)
-- **2019 — gpt-2** (scaling shows surprising emergent abilities)
-- **2020 — gpt-3** (175b parameters; llms become viable)
-- **2022+ — instruction-tuned & rlhf models** (chatgpt, claude, etc.)
-
----
-
-## 📊 insight
-- the transformer is the **architectural skeleton** of llms.
-- llms are “just” massive stacks of transformers trained on enormous corpora.
-- rlhf, fine-tuning, and alignment methods refine the outputs — but the core engine is still the **transformer self-attention block**.
-
-in short: **transformers are the soil from which llms grew.**

-# 🧩 .brief.article: `self-attention`
-
-## 🔑 what is self-attention
-
-self-attention is a mechanism that lets every token in a sequence **dynamically weigh its relationship to every other token** when computing its next representation.
-
-each token generates three vectors:
-- **query (q)** — what this token is “looking for”
-- **key (k)** — what this token “offers”
-- **value (v)** — the actual information carried
-
-the similarity of query vs key determines how much attention a token pays to another token’s value.
-
-mathematically:
-
-\[
-\text{Attention}(Q,K,V) = \text{softmax}\!\left(\frac{QK^\top}{\sqrt{d_k}}\right) V
-\]
-
-- **qkᵀ** → pairwise similarity scores (**matmul**)
-- **softmax** → normalize into attention weights
-- **weights × v** → weighted sum of values = new representation
-
----
-
-## 🎯 purpose
-- let tokens reference and integrate information from anywhere in the sequence
-- capture long-range dependencies in a single operation
-- enable efficient, parallel computation across tokens
-- provide multiple relational views through multi-head attention
-
----
-
-## ⚙️ method
-
-1. compute q, k, v for each token via linear projections (**matmuls**)
-2. calculate similarity scores q·kᵀ (**matmul**)
-3. normalize scores with softmax (**elemuls**)
-4. use normalized weights to combine values (**matmul**)
-5. update each token representation with the weighted sum
-
----
-
-## 🔑 benefits
-
-1. **parallelism** — all q, k, v computed at once; no recurrence.
-2. **long-range context** — any token can directly attend to any other.
-3. **scalability** — uniform, repeatable structure scales with data/compute.
-4. **expressivity** — multi-head attention lets the model learn diverse relational patterns.

-
-sentence:
-> “the cat sat on the mat because it was tired.”
-
-let’s track the token **“it”** and show how its q, k, v vectors interact with **“the cat.”**
-for illustration, assume a toy **5-dimensional hidden space**.
-
-### token: **“it”**
-- query (**q_it**) = `[0.9, 0.1, 0.0, 0.2, 0.3]`
-  - “looking for an antecedent noun with certain features”
-- key (**k_it**) = `[0.1, 0.3, 0.2, 0.0, 0.4]`
-  - “offers” self as a pronoun needing resolution
-- value (**v_it**) = `[0.2, 0.5, 0.1, 0.0, 0.7]`
-  - the information carried by “it” itself
-
-### token: **“cat”**
-- query (**q_cat**) = `[0.2, 0.4, 0.1, 0.3, 0.0]`
-- key (**k_cat**) = `[0.8, 0.2, 0.0, 0.1, 0.3]`
-  - describes the features of “cat” as a noun subject
-- value (**v_cat**) = `[0.7, 0.6, 0.2, 0.4, 0.1]`
-  - semantic content of “cat”
-
-### computing attention
-1. similarity score = q_it · k_cat =
-   `0.9*0.8 + 0.1*0.2 + 0.0*0.0 + 0.2*0.1 + 0.3*0.3 = 0.72 + 0.02 + 0 + 0.02 + 0.09 = 0.85`
-2. suppose normalized (softmax) weight for “cat” = **0.70**, for others tokens total 0.30.
-3. “it”’s updated representation =
-   `0.70 * v_cat + 0.30 * (weighted sum of other tokens’ values)`
-
-so “it”’s final vector is now strongly composed of “cat”’s value vector, making the model understand that **“it” refers to “the cat.”**
-
----
-
-## 📊 insight
-- **queries = what a token seeks**
-- **keys = what a token provides**
-- **values = the information contributed**
-- weighted connections between them create **context-aware representations**.
-
-self-attention is how llms directly model relationships across a sequence — allowing “it” to learn its referent is “the cat.”

-## .what

-
----
-
-## 🎯 purpose
-- demonstrate that identical word embeddings diverge into context-specific meanings
-- show how q, k, v vectors are derived from hidden states
-- illustrate how attention causes “bank” (financial vs river) to separate

-## ⚙️ demo setup
-
-sentence:
-> “the **bank** raised interest rates, and she sat by the **bank** of the river.”
-
-toy hidden size = **4**, with **2 heads.**
-
----
-
-### 🔹 step 1 — input embedding (same for both “bank”)
-
-both tokens start with the **same embedding lookup** from the word embedding matrix:
-
-- embedding(**bank**) = `[0.5, 0.7, 0.2, 0.1]`
-
-this is identical for both occurrences, because embeddings are tied to vocabulary entries, not context.
-
----
-
-### 🔹 step 2 — hidden states diverge
-
-after one transformer block, the hidden state of each “bank” diverges due to attending to different neighbors:
-
-- hidden(**bank_financial**) = `[0.8, 0.2, 0.6, 0.1]`
-- hidden(**bank_river**)     = `[0.1, 0.9, 0.2, 0.7]`

-
-### 🔹 step 3 — compute q, k, v from hidden states
-
-each hidden state is projected by learned matrices \( W_q, W_k, W_v \).
-
-for simplicity, show only **value (v)** vectors here:
-
-- v(**bank_financial**) = `[0.6, 0.5, 0.7, 0.2]`
-- v(**bank_river**)     = `[0.2, 0.8, 0.3, 0.6]`
-
-note: originally both banks had the **same v** if taken right after embedding, but after context mixing, they diverge.
-
----
-
-### 🔹 step 4 — multi-head specialization
-
-- **head 1 (financial context):**
-  “bank” attends to “interest rates” → reinforces v(**bank_financial**).
-
-- **head 2 (geographic context):**
-  “bank” attends to “river” → reinforces v(**bank_river**).
-
----
-
-## 🧩 combined effect
-
-- initially, both “bank” tokens share the same vector (embedding).
-- after attention, their hidden states — and thus their q/k/v vectors — diverge.
-- multi-head attention ensures each occurrence is contextualized differently.
-
----
-
-## 📊 insight
-- **embeddings** are static (same for same word).
-- **hidden states** are dynamic (different for each occurrence).
-- **q, k, v** are projections of hidden states, so they also differ per occurrence.
-- result: llms resolve word sense disambiguation in context by letting identical tokens evolve into different representations.

-# 🧩 .brief: `llm replication of input structures`
-
-## 🔑 what it implies
-
-llms are trained to predict the **next token** given a sequence, so they are highly sensitive to **patterns in the immediate input context**. when a prompt contains an example with a certain structure (formatting, headings, bullet styles, code blocks), the model learns that continuing with the same structure minimizes prediction error.
-
-this replication is not true “understanding” of the structure — it is a probabilistic continuation shaped by training data, where mimicking provided forms was often the correct next step.
-
----
-
-## 🎯 implications for behavior
-
-- **structural mimicry**
-  - the model mirrors bullet lists, markdown, code syntax, or prose style seen in the input.
-- **consistency bias**
-  - once a format is established in the prompt, deviating feels “unlikely” under the learned distribution.
-- **few-shot learning**
-  - demonstration examples act as templates; the model generalizes content into the same frame.
-- **alignment with expectation**
-  - replication maximizes coherence with the input and aligns with user intent implicitly signaled by structure.
-
----
-
-## 🧩 example
-
-> input:
->
-> “list three animals in this format:
-> - mammal:
-> - bird:
-> - reptile:”
-
-> output:
-> - mammal: dog
-> - bird: eagle
-> - reptile: lizard
-
-the model doesn’t reason about taxonomy per se — it reproduces the structure because that’s the **most probable continuation**.
-
----
-
-## 📊 insight
-
-- llms replicate structures because **continuation is their core mechanic**.
-- training on diverse, structured text (tables, lists, markdown, code) reinforced the habit of format preservation.
-- this property is what enables **few-shot prompting** and makes llms easy to steer by example.
-
-in short: **llms copy input structures because structure itself is a strong predictive signal for next-token generation.**

-## 🎨 examples across domains
-- **physics**: a formula table is only useful if the student has internalized what variables represent and when equations apply.
-- **chemistry**: a reaction handbook is only actionable if the chemist has internalized fundamentals like valence, polarity, and stability.
-- **language**: a dictionary provides definitions, but only someone with internalized grammar and semantics can apply them in real communication.
-- **llms**: retrieved passages (RAG) are useful only because the model has internalized language patterns that allow it to interpret, paraphrase, and apply them.
