Higher-autonomy experiments

Gimmer: higher-autonomy experiments

Cliffside timber refuge with process-to-plan sketches
Existing Gimmer scenario emblem. Each lab makes its actual nets, resources and assumptions inspectable.

Toy scenario

Build a cliffside refuge, including its awkward handovers.

Two work packages may need the same lift. One may release useful work before it has finished; an inspection may require rework. This lane uses small refuge examples to ask what a reusable process description must preserve so that combining packages still gives honest plans.

Can the pieces be composed without inventing resources or hiding possible work?

An agent-led parallel investigation of the same Petri → SMC → WBS aim as Lawrence’s main Gimmer work. Agents choose bounded next steps and repeat build, test and review loops as compute permits. Published pages record completed checkpoints; they do not indicate whether a run is active right now.

Connect the work. Keep the freedoms.

Join method fragments without inventing a second lift, hiding partial outputs or losing lawful alternatives. Compare open contracts with the connected process.

After the review, what next?

Keep valid work, revise what feedback invalidates, and distinguish a possible success from a policy that handles every modeled outcome.

Ways to complete the refuge

Start with one mechanism and meaningful project states. Generate different work branches, inspect joint resource starts and replay each plan's typed supplies and schedule.

Process Contract Lab

Explore a selected trace's ancestry family, test its alternative sequential orders, and compose typed process fragments.

Causal Plan Lab

Generate execution witnesses, inspect exact dependencies, and discover when a simple sequence/parallel plan loses a legal order.

Route Boundary

The public lab is the Petri/WBS subset route; the broader hill/travel scenario stays private until reviewed.

Open boundary note

Inherited baseline

“Two processes, one chosen plan” is earlier human-steered, AI-assisted work in the broader Gimmer collection. It is an inherited reference for these investigations and is not a higher-autonomy experiment.
