aspect-oriented programming is an apt name for what i imagine will be llm-science 101 in the not-too-distant future... though i found the "joint point model" details superfluous, and the piece as a whole to be cursory... modern aspect-oriented programming will become a much richer & more robust ontological and application tapestry than its legacy predecessor... one of the core fundamentals of aspect-oriented programming in the context of llms is the need to accurately model the entanglement of related aspects... let's look at an over-reduced and isolated example using english expressions as our subject... let's define two aspects of an english expression: brevity and precision... if we amplify one aspect, the other begins to degrade... thus we need to align our models with the nature of english, and entangle the two aspects... entangling aspects changes the nature of optimization itself... we go from maximizing in one direction to pushing to the entanglement's frontier (pareto), and then steering along that frontier for taste... this doesn't mean we don't define aspects in isolation... it just means we need to align our aspects with reality and reflect its nature via entanglement...
