    Improving the search policy, not the underlying model

    Dream-RSI addresses meta-exploration: how an autonomous discovery system decides which branch to investigate next. Instead of repeatedly paying for live experimentation, the framework preserves prior exploration as an evolving simulator where candidate policies can rehearse, be measured, and return to the live environment.

    01

    Explore

    A discovery agent runs live experiments and records the complete search tree, including code, traces, outcomes, and scores.

    02

    Replay

    That accumulated history becomes a deterministic world where alternative exploration policies can be tested without repeating every experiment.

    03

    Improve

    The strongest candidate policy returns to live exploration, producing new evidence for the next improvement cycle.

    Research status and governance relevance

    This is a preprint and has not completed peer review. Its reported benchmark results should be treated as author-reported findings. For governed AI, the central question is whether the replay world, reward function, policy versions, and deployment approvals remain traceable and independently reviewable.
