Figure 3
A line graph illustrating the temporal interval in AI-mediated prompt crafting. The graph features multiple lines representing different signals: linguistic articulation, semantic ambiguity, reflective attention, and conceptual direction. The x-axis represents the stages of the process, including articulation, pause, ambiguity, reflection, reformation, drift, and re-articulation. The y-axis represents intent and provocation. Each stage is marked with specific activities and considerations, such as clarifying, holding back, tension, considering, refining, diverging, and committing. The interval is depicted as a zone of productive delay where meaning is cultivated through reflection, articulation, and deferral. All values are approximated.The temporal interval: a signal diagram of meaning-making in AI-mediated prompt crafting
