Strange Loops Simulation

Overview

Self-referential learning with meta-cognition, implementing Hofstadter's Strange Loops concept where agents observe and improve their own performance.

Purpose

Test hierarchical self-improvement through meta-cognitive monitoring and recursive optimization.

Operations

  • Depth Levels: 3-5 meta-levels
  • Base Action: Initial task execution
  • Meta-Observation: Performance monitoring
  • Self-Improvement: Adaptive refinement

Results

  • Throughput: 3.21 ops/sec
  • Latency: 300ms avg
  • Improvement per Level: 8-12%
  • Final Reward: +28% from baseline
  • Meta-Learning Convergence: Level 4

Technical Details

// Level 0: Base action
// Level 1: Observe level 0 → Improve
// Level 2: Observe level 1 → Improve
// Creates recursive improvement loop

Applications

  • Self-optimizing AI systems
  • Metacognitive agents
  • Recursive self-improvement
  • Consciousness modeling
