(NLI – Book Thoughts Part 1)
Brad and I had decided to focus on the first four volumes
1. Crisis, 2. Measurement, 3. Logic, 4. Law
But the fourth book in the series was originally:
4. Science
Followed by Law.
The rest of the volumes:
6. Prosecution, 7. Reformation, 8. History, 9. Religion

However, as the books progress, I feel the Science is necessary if only because most of the behavioral science is in there and only briefly covered in the logic,

My thoughts are changing partly due to the velocity with which we can work now that we can feed the drafts of the first four volumes AND so much of the past research work into GPT, which speeds the work so much by the simple virtue of producing the equivalent of a search engine capable of synthesizing topical requests from all those tomes rather than spending hours or days just collecting notes from our prior works.

Our work consists largely of outlining a book, outlining each chapter, sketching each chapter, then creating a prompt for each section (few paragraphs) interrogating our vast body of work with an AI, composing the section, revising it a bit, and then passing through a set of reviews where we check for what’s missing what’s insufficiently covered and where we need transitions and summaries to assist the reader.

The gradual refinement as we work through the drafts really has made a profound difference.

Plus Brad gets to shine with his witticisms. 😉
