Harness Self-Evolution Safety
related_to
Deployment concern that updated harnesses may persist incorrect, unsafe, or biased instructions across future tasks in real-world systems
Agent Harness
associated_with
The external non-parametric context and infrastructure (prompts, skills, memories, tools) through which an LLM is deployed for task execution
Harness-Benefit Capability
associated_with
The capability of a task-solving agent to benefit from updated harnesses during task solving
Harness-Updating Capability
associated_with
The capability of an evolver model to produce useful persistent harness updates from execution evidence
Evolver
associated_with
The update procedure (often an LLM) that converts agent execution evidence into harness updates

Harness Evolution Capability Frameworkframework0.786
The paper's conceptual framework decomposing harness self-evolution into harness-updating and harness-benefit capabilities, distinct from base capability
does a model's base capability in task-solving predict its capabilities in harness self-evolution?question0.762
Central framing question motivating the paper's capability decomposition
Selfingconcept0.747
Process of reifying one's identity as an independent self; meditation practices aim to decrease selfing.
self-model (transformer)concept0.735
The transformer's model of itself as a predictive text engine, developed through in-context learning.
Self (TAME definition)concept0.726
A coherent system owning associations, memories, and preferences, defined by its cognitive light cone.
Self-organisationconcept0.724
Phenomenon of spontaneous long-range order emerging from local interactions; central phenomenon explained by topological constraints
Prompts (Harness Artifact)concept0.722
Natural-language harness artifacts that encode standing behavioral rules, task policies, and reasoning procedures
Self-overcomingconcept0.721
The process of transcending human limitations; central to both Buddhist practice and the evolution of technical intelligence.
