Good read. Improving recursive self-improvement through emergent depth.
DAIR.AI (@dair_ai): Interesting new approach to recursive self-improvement in agents.
Systems that add a meta-level hold that level fixed.
Systems that edit themselves have to leave part of their own editing machinery untouched to stay stable, which caps realized meta-depth at roughly two.
