Pattern #1: Learn to See How Information Moves

Generative AI works by recognizing patterns. Intelligent people do the same.

The more patterns you recognize, the more effectively you can think, ask, judge, and accomplish with AI.

The Intelligence Move

When faced with any challenge, don't ask only:

"What's the answer?"

Instead ask:

"Which information movement pattern fits this situation?"

Once you identify the pattern, AI becomes a much more powerful thinking partner.

AI Activation Prompt (Use on any ChatGPT-like system)

"My context is [describe your situation]. Identify the information movement pattern(s) that best fit this context. Explain why, map my situation to the pattern, identify missing steps, and recommend the best course of action."
