Build a dense vocabulary with your AI: fix your words, calibrate intent repeatedly

The author argues that AI misunderstanding is as common as human misunderstanding, and the practical fix isn't fancy prompt engineering but vocabulary discipline: settle on a consistent set of words with your AI and repeatedly correct on their intent to build a shared semantic foundation.
An interesting observation from his setup: once his AI was tied to a memory system, the model started "optimizing" him back — nudging him to issue fixed ritual command words. Strip away the mysticism and the takeaway is simple: communication quality comes from consistency and intent calibration, not magic incantations.
