## AI overview

The article explores a geometric view of writing improvement, treating strategic writing as a direction or submanifold in embedding space. It proposes a six-step experiment to measure strategic direction, find a geodesic path while preserving other properties, map the result back to tokens, and return the changes as guidance.
