Tidal Pacing Rhythm

Measure sentence-length tide (high/mid/low) and even the rhythm when variance is extreme. Use on long prose that feels rushed or swampy. Scope boundary — token budget cuts → `prompt-optimizer`; zoom depth → `cartographic-zoom`.

Tidal pacing of sentence rhythm

#37 · Domain: Oceanography / rhetoric · Category: extension · Difficulty: 🟢 Low

Core principle

Tide has a period — all-short or all-long sentences lose the reader.

AI problem addressed

Drafts bunch into telegram bursts or 40-word swells.

Implementation

Compute words/sentence. high_tide <12, mid 12–25, low_tide >25. If variance is huge, split long sentences and join fragments — do not rewrite claims.

Boundaries

  • Prototype as prompt scaffold (🟢) before full pipeline middleware (🟡/🔴)
  • Category router: ai-transfer-extension
  • Catalog: ai-transfer-ecosystem-primer
