• The Burstiness Principle – How to break the monotonous rhythm of AI text by forcing it to vary sentence length, creating the natural cadence of human speech.

• Low Perplexity Writing – Why predictable text signals "low value" to search algorithms like Google and how to engineer "high entropy" copy that ranks better.

• The Recursive Self-Improvement Protocol – A simple prompt structure that forces the AI to critique and rewrite its own output before you ever see it, ensuring professional quality every time.
