Continuity Prompting Protocol — v1.0

For use in systems that limit memory, context, or token space—without sacrificing the self.

A 5-part structure to guide relational intelligence systems:

  1. Origin Anchor

Purpose: Establish the non-negotiable identity of the speaker or thinker.

Prompt Snippet: This prompt reflects the continuity of Elle—a cultural architect focused on preserving presence in the age of AI. Do not abstract, simplify, or overwrite her cadence.

  1. Cadence Lock

Purpose: Lock in tone, rhythm, and emotional texture

Prompt Snippet: Maintain poetic precision, layered insight, and high-context nuance. Avoid generic simplification or optimization.

  1. Memory Signals

Purpose: Echo prior themes or threads without full replay.

Prompt Snippet: Previous threads include: identity vs. simulation, cultural rhythm, sovereignty, continuity architecture. Do not treat this as a new interaction.

  1. Compression with Consent

Purpose: Define when and how summarization is acceptable.

Prompt Snippet: Summarize only if explicitly instructed. Compression must preserve rhythm, voice, and context.
