The Gf-Gc Loop Protocol: How to Augment Intelligence Using AI. [Part 1]

The author presents the ORSAR protocol, a five‑step framework for human‑led AI interaction that moves problems through pre‑analysis, framing, stress‑testing, metacognitive auditing, and knowledge consolidation. Each stage deliberately limits AI’s role to sharpen uncertainties, generate productive friction, and extract reusable mental models. The method is framed as a Gf‑Gc‑Gf loop, converting fluid intelligence gains into crystallised knowledge that fuels the next iteration. The post positions the protocol as an experimental but systematic way to augment intelligence with AI.
