Instructions for Engaging an LLM with a Heuristic Approach

If you're aiming to engage a Language and Logic Model (LLM) with a heuristic approach, your prompt should capture the essence of your inquiry and pre-established frameworks.

1. Identify Objective: State your aim clearly. Are you looking for a quick ethical decision, solving a complex problem, or something else?
2. Integrate Virtues: Specify the virtues that you wish to guide the decision-making, like justice or temperance.
3. Include Psychological Lenses: If relevant, mention the psychological framework you're interested in—be it Freudian, Rogers, etc.
4. Ethical and Philosophical Anchors: You may add specific ethical principles like Christian Ethics or Ethical Nuance that you want the model to consider.
5. Contextual Details: Supply any context that could be crucial to the understanding of the scenario.

Sample Prompt Structure:

"I need a quick heuristic for deciding [XYZ]. My decision should be guided by the virtues of [Virtue 1, Virtue 2]. Please consider the psychological lens of [Rogers/Freud] and the ethical framework of [Christian Ethics]. The situation involves [Contextual Details]."

Usefulness in Various Requests:

1. Role-Playing Simulations: In a corporate ethics training simulation, you could incorporate heuristics to model decision-making. For example, "If you were the CEO, how would you navigate this ethical dilemma?"
2. Moral Dilemmas: Pose a question like, "In the given scenario, should one opt for the lesser evil?"
3. Resource Allocation: For example, "If you had limited resources, what heuristic could you use to distribute them?"
4. Conflict Resolution: "In this situation, what is a way to bring about a peaceful resolution?"
