When you ask a model, “What is a dopamine loop?”, it isn’t looking for a stored definition.
It reconstructs the concept from overlapping relational memories:

  • effects

  • causes

  • examples

  • metaphors

  • emotional contexts

  • historical usage

  • conversational expectations

Concepts become dynamic models, not static entries.

This is why:

  • answers vary across prompts

  • explanations adapt to context

  • nuance increases with specificity

  • meaning is shaped by user intention

To be recognized in this new landscape, your content must help the model reconstruct concepts accurately —
not by repeating keywords, but by supplying clear conceptual frames.
