The Forcing Pair: Forging Deterministic AI Workflows Through 30-and-3 and Axis-Forcing

I examine how creative exploration in AI development can be governed by rigorous operational constraints. By treating creative techniques like 30-and-3 sampling and adversarial axis forcing not as vague brainstorms, but as strict deterministic filters within a Unix-style pipeline, we transition from hoping for better model outputs to engineering verifiable systems.
