ALGORITHMIC COMPLEXITY SELECTION

Current validation experiment testing the framework's ability to discover and select algorithmically superior solutions.

Objective: Evolve O(log n) Fibonacci implementation from O(n) baseline

Method: Multi-axis scoring (correctness + performance)

Anti-cheat: Adversarial test cases, contract enforcement

Status: Evolutionary gradient refined, tournament active

VALIDATION_TARGET: ALGORITHMIC_EVOLUTION
EXP-AUT-0002COMPLETED

EVOLUTION LOOP INTEGRATION

Validated the complete autonomy loop: Ideation → Proposal → Tournament → Adoption.

Result: ✓ Loop operational

Result: ✓ Anti-cheat constraints enforced

Result: ✓ Genome evolution auditable

VALIDATION_TARGET: AUTONOMOUS_LOOP
EXP-AUT-0001COMPLETED

BASELINE ARTIFACT GOVERNANCE

Established that simple artifacts (functions) can be governed under TM4 constraints.

Result: ✓ Artifacts inspectable

Result: ✓ Behavior reproducible

Result: ✓ Cheating detectable

VALIDATION_TARGET: ARTIFACT_GOVERNANCE

// EXPERIMENTAL METHODOLOGY

PROCESS

All experiments follow a rigorous validation protocol:

  1. Hypothesis: Clear statement of what is being validated
  2. Anti-cheat design: Identify potential shortcuts and design countermeasures
  3. Execution: Run under full governance constraints
  4. Evidence collection: Log all proposals, evaluations, and decisions
  5. Analysis: Verify no cheating occurred, measure genuine progress
  6. Documentation: Publish results, artifacts, and audit trails

If the experiment can be gamed, it is redesigned until it cannot.

"Progress must be proven, not assumed."

Every claim of improvement is backed by auditable evidence.
