Quality-Enriched Prompting
Implementation of [0,1]-enriched categories for continuous prompt quality optimization.
Enriched Category Foundations
In a [0,1]-enriched category (following Bradley's framework):
- Objects: Prompts, responses, contexts
- Hom-objects: Quality scores in [0,1] instead of sets
- Composition: Quality degradation via multiplication or minimum
- Identity: Perfect quality (1.0)

Categorical Guarantees
Quality-enriched prompting ensures:
- Enriched Composition: Quality degradation follows monoidal laws
- Transitivity: Composed quality ≤ individual qualities
- Reflexivity: Identity has perfect quality (1.0)
- Pareto Optimality: Frontier prompts are non-dominated
- Monotonic Improvement: Optimization never decreases aggregate quality
