Generatrix - Java Interface Samples

The sample code here will be a supplement to the article for the benefit of the review team and readers, if the article is accepted.

Stand By.

Naomi Saphra discusses 5 rules governing language model behavior, breaking down why LLMs act like populations rather than individuals. She explains how tokenization creates strange semantic blind spots and highlights the mechanics of sycophancy, showing how models leverage subtle data associations to match user biases and demographics - even guessing political views based on favorite sports teams.

With the Reactive Data Layer Architecture (RDLA), you establish a clear boundary between public data APIs and private, framework-specific data-source implementations.

RDLA also simplifies testing by encouraging you to program to interfaces and use clean seeding patterns.
