You know there's no such as base truth here? You want to write something like this to start your prompts, "Respond in English, using standard capitalization and punctuation, following rules of grammar as written by Strunk & White, where numbers are represented using arabic numerals in base 10 notation...."???

actually, I might appreciate that.

I like precision of language, so maybe just have a system prompt that says "use precise language (ex: no symbolism of any kind)"

A lot of preferences have nothing to do with any truth. Do you like code segments or full code? Do you like paragraphs or bullet points? Heck, do you want English or Japanaese?

What is base truth for e.g. creative writing?
