Interesting. I've been coping by being very conservative about how many rules I introduce into the context, but if what you're saying is true, then something like SCAN actually helps the models break past the "total rule count" barrier by giving them something like "cognitive scaffolding". I'm eager to try this out. Thanks again for sharing!

That's a great way to put it — "cognitive scaffolding" is exactly what it is. And yeah, keeping rules minimal is smart, but at some point the project just needs 25 rules and you can't cut them down without losing something important. SCAN lets you have a large instruction set without paying the full attention cost. Let me know how it goes!
