Author here. Collaboration with LLMs has some interesting analogies with the physics af lasers. Medium: LLM, pump energy: conversational prompting, resonant cavity: your judgement and population inversion is what makes the output shine - you are reflecting back ideas that resonate from the training data, each idea builds up on the next.<p>Agentic frameworks are then designing and engineering the best systems to induce this non-equilibrium state. Hermes quite literally changes the geometry of the cavity itself to induce long-lasting lasing. Is cavity engineering the logical evolution of context engineering?<p>Happy to hear your thoughts.
