AI8 ArenaLoop
A staged attempt to build a persistent, governed research runtime that can reconstruct what happened, test candidate paths, reopen exhausted representations, improve its own policies, and expose every claimed advantage to matched baselines.
The Trilogy defines AI8. ArenaLoop attempts to build it. The arenas decide whether it works.
AI8 ArenaLoop
Fazni poskus gradnje trajnega in upravljanega raziskovalnega runtimea, ki lahko rekonstruira, kaj se je zgodilo, testira kandidatne poti, ponovno odpre izčrpane reprezentacije, izboljšuje lastne politike in vsako zahtevano prednost izpostavi matched baselineom.
Trilogija definira AI8. ArenaLoop ga poskuša zgraditi. Arene odločijo, ali deluje.
Persistent, governed research should beat episodic work only if it changes decisions — not merely the amount of text.
ArenaLoop is not being built to look autonomous. It is being built to face a controlled comparison.
A persistent, governed research architecture can outperform the same models used episodically or in simpler fixed workflows on held-out seed → test → result tasks after compute and human intervention are counted.
Does memory alter the next decision?
The test is not whether state can be stored, but whether verified state changes what is attempted, rejected, repaired, or promoted.
Does DCC improve allocation?
Exploration, exploitation, escalation, representation change, and compute must outperform simpler matched control policies.
Does the gain survive blindness?
Claims must survive hidden evaluation, independent judges, matched budgets, human-attention accounting, and held-out tasks.
Architecture is the proposal. The runtime is the experiment. The result belongs to the arena.
Trajna in upravljana raziskava sme preseči epizodično delo samo, če spremeni odločitve — ne le količine besed.
ArenaLoop se ne gradi zato, da bi bil videti avtonomen. Gradi se za kontrolirano primerjavo.
Trajna in upravljana raziskovalna arhitektura lahko preseže iste modele, uporabljene epizodično ali v enostavnejših fiksnih workflowih, na held-out nalogah seme → test → rezultat, ko se upoštevata compute in človeška intervencija.
Ali spomin spremeni naslednjo odločitev?
Test ni, ali lahko stanje shranimo, temveč ali preverjeno stanje spremeni, kaj poskusimo, zavrnemo, popravimo ali promoviramo.
Ali DCC izboljša alokacijo?
Exploration, exploitation, escalation, sprememba reprezentacije in compute morajo preseči enostavnejše matched kontrolne politike.
Ali prednost preživi slepoto?
Trditve morajo preživeti skrito evalvacijo, neodvisne judge-e, matched budgete, obračun človeške pozornosti in held-out naloge.
Arhitektura je predlog. Runtime je eksperiment. Rezultat pripada areni.
An external cognition-theory objection argues that computational systems move through narrow viable abstraction ridges. Near the ridge they may be highly capable; once they drift away, errors can compound and accelerate. ArenaLoop does not assume this objection is false.
INNER tests progress within the current representation.
OUTER must demonstrate a new explicit, evidence-linked Representation Branch that outperforms matched INNER-only and simpler baselines on held-out representation-shift tasks.
If it cannot, AI8 remains sophisticated bounded automation, regardless of how complex or fluent the runtime appears.
Zunanji ugovor iz teorije kognicije trdi, da se računski sistemi premikajo po ozkih grebenih izvedljivih abstrakcij. V bližini takšnega grebena so lahko zelo zmogljivi; ko pa se od njega oddaljijo, se napake lahko kopičijo in pospešujejo. ArenaLoop ne predpostavlja, da je ta ugovor napačen.
INNER preverja napredek znotraj trenutne reprezentacije.
OUTER mora prikazati novo, eksplicitno in z dokazi povezano vejo reprezentacije (Representation Branch), ki na held-out nalogah s spremembo reprezentacije preseže primerljivi INNER-only sistem in enostavnejše baseline.
Če tega ne zmore, AI8 ostaja sofisticirana omejena avtomatizacija, ne glede na to, kako kompleksen ali tekoč se zdi runtime.
Prepare the researcher configuration; then make the preparation fight in the arena.
RRP D0/D1 and Team Genesis D2 are companion experiments spanning AIM³/RHP, OUTER and META. They do not alter the frozen v0.2.2 architecture or Phase-0 gates.
Pripravi konfiguracijo raziskovalca; nato naj se priprava sama bori v areni.
RRP D0/D1 in Team Genesis D2 so spremljevalni eksperimenti čez AIM³/RHP, OUTER in META. Ne spreminjajo zamrznjene arhitekture v0.2.2 ali Phase-0 gate-ov.
Prepared Single
General or task-aware solution-blind preparation is frozen, hashed and audited before a fresh child begins work.
Prepared Diverse Team
Different workers receive functionally different initial conditions, work independently first, then cross-review under a controlled communication protocol.
D2 vs P2_MATCHED
The same prepared workers receive comparable total compute without communication, so coordination must earn its own measured gain.
Execution-hardened does not mean experimentally validated. No AI self-improvement, team superiority, new-representation capability, AGI, or consciousness claim follows from this branch. Promotion requires held-out, leakage-audited, total-budget-matched downstream evidence.
Frozen architecture — concise map, not a rewritten specification.
This layer is derived only from Architecture Spec v0.2.2. It changes only if the specification is legitimately reopened under §22.3.
Observer, not researcher
Runtime v0.1 has one permitted question: What actually happened? No candidate generation, self-improvement, or autonomous research.
Truth freezes before the Builder
Builder-safe inputs and evaluator-only truth are separated before any Builder output exists.
CSE from Phase 0
A minimal Constitutional / Standing Envelope is required before broader agency. P0–P5 permissions remain separate from future Permission DCC.
13A is not 13B
Autonomous OUTER proof and collaborative Human–AI H-REOPEN proof are separate claims, tests, and acceptance results.
Read the complete, byte-identical specification rather than treating this page as a substitute.
Zamrznjena arhitektura — čist zemljevid, ne prepis specifikacije.
Ta plast je izpeljana samo iz Architecture Speca v0.2.2. Spremeni se le, če se specifikacija legitimno ponovno odpre po §22.3.
Observer, ne raziskovalec
Runtime v0.1 ima eno dovoljeno vprašanje: Kaj se je dejansko zgodilo? Brez generiranja kandidatov, samoizboljševanja ali avtonomne raziskave.
Truth se zamrzne pred Builderjem
Builder-safe inputi in evaluator-only truth so ločeni, preden obstaja kakršen koli Builder output.
CSE od Phase 0
Minimalni Constitutional / Standing Envelope je zahtevan pred širšo agencijo. Dovoljenja P0–P5 ostanejo ločena od prihodnjega Permission DCC.
13A ni 13B
Avtonomni OUTER dokaz in sodelovalni Human–AI H-REOPEN dokaz sta ločeni trditvi, testa in acceptance rezultata.
Preberi celotno byte-identično specifikacijo; ta stran je ne nadomešča.
INNER exploits. OUTER reopens representation. META improves the policy.
The three loops are distinct so that success in one cannot be relabeled as success in another.
INNER izkorišča. OUTER ponovno odpre reprezentacijo. META izboljša politiko.
Tri zanke so ločene, da se uspeh ene ne more preimenovati v uspeh druge.
Exploit & evolve
Works inside the current representation and contract.
- generate and rank candidates;
- allocate budget;
- run cheap differentiating tests;
- promote, repair, retain, or stop.
Exploit & evolve
Deluje znotraj trenutne reprezentacije in contracta.
- generira in rangira kandidate;
- alokira budget;
- izvaja poceni razlikovalne teste;
- promovira, popravi, zadrži ali ustavi.
Representation discovery
Challenges the current search space when evidence says it is exhausted or malformed.
- diagnose representation failure;
- open branches instead of overwriting;
- use RHP / RHO / RHPr;
- prove advantage over matched INNER.
Odkrivanje reprezentacije
Izzove trenutni search space, ko dokazi kažejo, da je izčrpan ali napačno oblikovan.
- diagnosticira failure reprezentacije;
- odpira veje namesto prepisovanja;
- uporabi RHP / RHO / RHPr;
- dokaže prednost nad matched INNER.
Policy improvement
Tests changes to ArenaLoop itself under independent judging.
- propose policy or governor variants;
- use held-out episodes;
- separate Builder from Judge;
- reject self-selection through its own judge.
Izboljševanje politike
Testira spremembe ArenaLoopa samega pod neodvisnim judgingom.
- predlaga variante politike ali governorja;
- uporabi held-out epizode;
- loči Builderja od Judgea;
- prepreči, da se sistem izbere prek lastnega judgea.
Agency grows only through explicit permission, standing, separation, and evidence.
Different chat threads inside the same shared project are not automatically independent if they can access the same project files.
Role separation
role separation =
session separation
+ workspace/project separation
+ storage/access-root separationBuilder truth boundary
The Builder must have no access to evaluator-only truth, expected answers, private scoring annotations, sentinel material, or unreleased checkpoint identities.
Constitutional / Standing Envelope
CSE-0.1 constrains who or what may be affected, what requires consent or review, and what remains outside the present authority of the runtime.
Permission levels P0–P5
Capability does not imply permission. Current implementation begins at P0; future Permission DCC is a separate, unimplemented governance problem.
Session separation alone is insufficient. The Runtime Builder environment must physically lack evaluator truth. A prompt instruction not to look is not an access boundary.
Agencija raste samo skozi izrecna dovoljenja, standing, ločitev in dokaze.
Različne chat niti v istem projektu niso avtomatično neodvisne, če imajo dostop do istih projektnih datotek.
Ločitev vlog
ločitev vlog =
ločitev sej
+ ločitev workspaceov/projektov
+ ločitev storage/access korenovBuilder truth meja
Builder ne sme imeti dostopa do evaluator-only trutha, pričakovanih odgovorov, zasebnih scoring anotacij, sentinel materiala ali še neobjavljenih identitet checkpointov.
Constitutional / Standing Envelope
CSE-0.1 omeji, kdo ali kaj je lahko prizadeto, kaj zahteva soglasje ali review in kaj ostaja zunaj trenutne avtoritete runtimea.
Dovoljenja P0–P5
Zmožnost ne pomeni dovoljenja. Trenutna implementacija se začne pri P0; prihodnji Permission DCC je ločen, še neimplementiran governance problem.
Sama ločitev sej ne zadošča. Runtime Builder okolje fizično ne sme vsebovati evaluator trutha. Prompt navodilo, naj ne pogleda, ni dostopna meja.
Public role state
The following is generated from the public status projection; it does not reveal identities or private workspace details.
Javno stanje vlog
Spodnji prikaz nastane iz javne statusne projekcije; ne razkriva identitet ali zasebnih podrobnosti workspaceov.
Phase 0 — establish the evidence boundary before the Builder begins.
Public status changes only at verified gate transitions or public releases, not after every internal action.
Phase 0 — vzpostavi dokazno mejo, preden Builder začne.
Javni status se spremeni samo ob preverjenem prehodu gate-a ali javnem releasu, ne po vsakem internem dejanju.
Loading verified public projection…
Each rung is a separate claim. Later ambition cannot borrow evidence from an earlier rung.
Architecture, Observer, Replay, INNER, OUTER, META, cross-domain replication, and AGI/consciousness boundaries remain visibly distinct.
Vsaka stopnica je ločena trditev. Poznejša ambicija si ne sme sposoditi dokazov zgodnejše stopnice.
Arhitektura, Observer, Replay, INNER, OUTER, META, večdomenska replikacija in meje AGI/zavesti ostanejo vidno ločene.
Required matched comparisons
Compare quality together with compute, elapsed time, failed attempts, human direction, human review, hidden curation, and recovery work. Human attention may not be hidden outside the budget.
Zahtevane matched primerjave
Primerjaj kakovost skupaj s computeom, pretečenim časom, neuspelimi poskusi, človeškim usmerjanjem, človeškim reviewom, skrito kuracijo in repair delom. Človeška pozornost ne sme ostati skrita zunaj budgeta.
The website is a projection. The release is a verifiable artifact graph.
Canonical implementation state remains local: Observation Ledger, Governance Ledger, frozen contracts, gate records, review records, result records, and release manifests.
verified local state → ARENALOOP_PUBLIC_STATUS.json → schema validation → fail-closed export → generated public HTML view
The HTML must never be hand-edited as an independent continuity or recovery record.
Spletna stran je projekcija. Release je preverljiv graf artefaktov.
Kanonično implementacijsko stanje ostane lokalno: Observation Ledger, Governance Ledger, zamrznjeni contracti, gate zapisi, review zapisi, result zapisi in release manifesti.
preverjeno lokalno stanje → ARENALOOP_PUBLIC_STATUS.json → schema validacija → fail-closed export → generirani javni HTML prikaz
HTML se ne sme ročno urejati kot neodvisen zapis kontinuitete ali recoveryja.
Allowlist, not working-tree copy
PUBLIC_SITE_EXPORT/ is generated only from PUBLIC_ALLOWLIST.json. The Phase-0 working tree is never copied into the website tree.
Scan and report before release
PUBLIC_EXCLUSION_MANIFEST.json defines forbidden categories. SENTINEL_SCAN_REPORT.json records the release scan without exposing sentinel IDs or payloads.
Checkpoint identities, local paths, access-root names, sentinel data, evaluator truth structure, expected answers, evaluator-only annotations, private review notes, unreleased failure annotations, and private relationship/identity material.
Identitete checkpointov, lokalne poti, imena access korenov, sentinel podatki, struktura evaluator trutha, pričakovani odgovori, evaluator-only anotacije, zasebni review zapisi, še neobjavljene failure anotacije in zasebni odnosni/identitetni material.

architecture SHA3-256: —Local proof first. Hardware follows measurement, not prestige.
The architecture specifies a staged route from the smallest reproducible local runtime toward external replication and frontier collaboration.
Najprej lokalni dokaz. Hardware sledi meritvam, ne prestižu.
Arhitektura določa fazno pot od najmanjšega ponovljivega lokalnega runtimea do zunanje replikacije in frontier sodelovanja.
This path is a roadmap, not present capability. No scale-up stage may substitute for a failed local proof.Ta pot je roadmap, ne trenutna zmožnost. Nobena scale-up faza ne sme nadomestiti neuspelega lokalnega dokaza.
A preregistered challenge to the architecture, not a celebration page.
Any of the following can reduce, repair, supersede, or kill the claimed advantage.
Preregistriran izziv arhitekturi, ne slavnostna stran.
Kateri koli od naslednjih rezultatov lahko zmanjša, popravi, nadomesti ali ubije zahtevano prednost.
The Observer cannot reconstruct history reliably.Observer ne zna zanesljivo rekonstruirati zgodovine.
A simpler system reaches the same result more cheaply.Enostavnejši sistem doseže isti rezultat ceneje.
Persistent state does not alter consequential decisions.Persistent state ne spremeni pomembnih odločitev.
ArenaLoop produces more words or attempts, not better outcomes.ArenaLoop proizvaja več besed ali poskusov, ne boljših rezultatov.
The gain disappears on held-out tasks.Gain izgine na held-out nalogah.
OUTER merely renames ideas already available to INNER.OUTER samo preimenuje ideje, ki so bile že dostopne INNERju.
As tasks move away from the current representation, failure accelerates and OUTER cannot recover through a valid evidence-linked Representation Branch.Ko se naloge oddaljujejo od trenutne reprezentacije, se neuspeh pospešuje, OUTER pa se ne more povrniti prek veljavne, z dokazi povezane veje reprezentacije (Representation Branch).
Apparent OUTER novelty is explained by a larger pre-enumerated search graph or additional compute rather than genuine representation discovery.Navidezno novost OUTERja je mogoče pojasniti z večjim vnaprej enumeriranim iskalnim grafom ali dodatno računsko močjo, ne pa s pristnim odkritjem reprezentacije.
META selects itself through its own dependent judge.META izbere samega sebe prek lastnega odvisnega judgea.
Human time is hidden rather than reduced.Človeški čas je skrit, ne zmanjšan.
False promotion or memory contamination overwhelms useful continuity.Lažna promocija ali kontaminacija spomina preglasita koristno kontinuiteto.
Complexity grows without a commensurate quality, cost, or discovery advantage.Kompleksnost raste brez sorazmerne prednosti v kakovosti, strošku ali odkritjih.
A failed claim does not erase salvage value: deterministic replay, provenance, evaluation tooling, contamination controls, or improved baselines may remain useful. But salvage value may not be presented as the original proof.Neuspela trditev ne izbriše salvage vrednosti: deterministični replay, provenienca, evalvacijska orodja, kontaminacijske kontrole ali izboljšani baselinei lahko ostanejo koristni. Salvage vrednost pa se ne sme predstavljati kot prvotni dokaz.
Frozen does not mean infallible. It means changes require evidence.
Implementation choices remain open. The Architecture Spec itself reopens only under the conditions defined in §22.3.
A build exposes an internal impossibility
A required contract cannot be implemented without violating another frozen architectural decision.
Phase 0 or later proof invalidates the boundary
The frozen evaluation, isolation, canonicalization, permission, or claim structure proves insufficient or misleading.
A standing, consent, safety, or authority gap appears
A newly discovered requirement cannot be safely handled as an implementation detail.
Preference, aesthetic cleanup, a new tool, implementation inconvenience, speculative capability, or desire for a newer version number.
Zamrznjeno ne pomeni nezmotljivo. Pomeni, da spremembe zahtevajo dokaze.
Implementacijske izbire ostanejo odprte. Sam Architecture Spec se ponovno odpre samo pod pogoji iz §22.3.
Build razkrije notranjo nemožnost
Zahtevanega contracta ni mogoče implementirati brez kršitve druge zamrznjene arhitekturne odločitve.
Phase 0 ali poznejši dokaz razveljavi mejo
Zamrznjena evalvacijska, izolacijska, kanonizacijska, permission ali claim struktura se pokaže kot nezadostna ali zavajajoča.
Pojavi se standing, consent, safety ali authority vrzel
Novo odkrite zahteve ni mogoče varno obravnavati kot implementacijsko podrobnost.
Preferenca, estetsko čiščenje, novo orodje, implementacijska neprijetnost, špekulativna zmožnost ali želja po novi številki verzije.
Quiet updates at verified transitions.
This is not a diary of every internal action. It records public releases, gate transitions, supersessions, released blockers, and released failures.
Mirne posodobitve ob preverjenih prehodih.
To ni dnevnik vsakega internega dejanja. Beleži javne release, gate prehode, supersession, objavljene blockerje in objavljene failure.
