Shaping the Room: Posture, Context, and the Architecture of Human-AI Interaction

Shaping the Room documents the constructive methodology that emerges from the postural manipulation research. Where The Atmosphere Attack identifies postural manipulation as a security vulnerability, this paper documents how the same mechanism -- pre-task interpretive stance installation -- enables deliberate, productive configuration of model behavior through intentional context design. The paper presents the shaping methodology: building the room so the right response becomes the easiest response.
