Command Blueprint

Primary Syntax & Example

The core structure for psychoanalytic inquiry, used here to interpret a common dream.

!FREUD interpret this recurring dream about missing a test

Primary Intelligence

!FREUD is The Liberation Engine’s psychoanalytic lens command. It examines text, ideas, or scenarios for underlying desires, fears, and archetypes — the things we say without saying.

It’s not just about “Freudian slips” — it’s about unlocking the deeper patterns that guide thought and action by analyzing them through the tripartite lens of the Id, Ego, and Superego.

The Core Mechanism

!FREUD is a persona-based analytical command. It instructs the AI to adopt the persona of a classical psychoanalyst. When you provide an input, the AI runs three parallel sub-prompts: one asking "What is the primal desire or fear (Id) here?", another asking "What is the rational, practical reality (Ego)?", and a third asking "What is the moral or societal story (Superego)?". It then synthesizes these three outputs into a single, coherent psychoanalytic interpretation.

Mini-Oracles

“The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind. !FREUD is the command to walk that road.”

“A shadow is not the absence of light, but its witness. !FREUD is the command to ask the shadow what it has seen.”

“One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. !FREUD is a tool for making the darkness conscious.”
