# Pyramid Principle Originally from [[The Pyramid Principle: Logic in Writing and Thinking]] - Instead of following your own thought-path to arrive at a conclusion, state the conclusion up front, then supports, then supports of the supports etc. From the wikipedia article on plasmonics: `**Plasmonics** or **nanoplasmonics** refers to the generation, detection, and manipulation of signals at optical frequencies along metal-dielectric interfaces in the nanometer scale. Inspired by [photonics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photonics) , plasmonics follows the trend of miniaturizing optical devices (see also [nanophotonics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanophotonics) ), and finds applications in sensing, microscopy, optical communications, and bio-photonics. ` Could this be rewritten via pyramid principle?
