How specific should a Provisional Patent Application be?

質問

My question would be whether the provisional patent application should be filed for the invention as a whole, or should each unique process be independently filed for? What are some pointers that can help figure out the best strategy?

You can file a provisional which contains the elements of the patent. No need for claims. However, since you'd like to refer to it in your non provisional later for priority, you'd need to have the main elements of your teaching included. The best strategy is to be the first to file, especially with the new Obama patent rules.
