arXiv paper proposes formal framework for recursive self-improvement
A new arXiv preprint argues that recursive self-improvement lacks a single formal definition, despite frequent claims about it at various scales. The author presents "Generalized Agent Iteration," a unified framework intended to cover both iterative policy improvement and recursive self-improvement. The work aims to clarify whether RSI is best understood as a phenomenon, a mechanism, or a prospect.
