A deliberate cycle of running, evaluating and refining a prompt or output.

Iteration is not repeatedly asking the same vague question. Change a known variable — such as missing context, a constraint or the output shape — and compare the response against a stated criterion.

Gaiish supports focused iteration because its components make the likely source of a failure visible. Keep what worked and revise the component that did not; validate again after the change.
