Recursive Self Improvement Lab

A verifier-gated research program assembled from sealed local experiments: propose, intervene, verify, archive, and inherit only when held-out evidence improves.

Recursive Self Improvement Lab

An attempt to build a recursive self-improvement lab from a portfolio of sealed research projects rather than from a single self-modifying agent. Improvement counts only when an external truth standard — exact oracles, Lean gates, sealed artifact hashes — accepts a claim the proposer cannot rewrite, and when archive-conditioned reuse later beats memoryless baselines on held-out families.

Club A is the evidence surface: Wave-Causal Circuit Search, Parameter Golf, Gigatoken Lab, and Nostradamous — each with researcher-readable reports and interactive or snapshot notebooks. Club B is the substrate: Open Problems Lab and Lorenz for formal verification; Sansara and Geist for agent operation; Vault Ops for archive and publication; Agora and AlphaEvolve for simulation and evolutionary scaffolds.

This page is the program map. Individual claims live on the project and report pages; negative results stay published beside positive ones. The first inheritance experiment remains queued behind Wave-Causal Tier 0 semantics and is not advertised as running recursion.

    Cognitive Systems Portfolio Thesis

    How Memory Store (cognitive memory at Julep), phi9, Sansara, Agora agent simulation, and the RSI Lab form one research program: durable world models, verifier-gated discovery, and agents that do not own the control plane.
