Generalized Agent Iteration: Unifying Iterative Policy Improvement and Recursive Self‑Improvement

Executive Takeaway Generalized Agent Iteration (GAI) formalizes the relationship between classic generalized policy iteration (GPI) and recursive self‑improvement (RSI). By treating the learning algorithm itself as a modifiable component of the agent, GAI clarifies when an improvement step is internal versus external, and when the evaluation standard is anchored, drifting, or fully self‑referential. For practitioners, […]
