greyishblu··on Seed: Minimal, self-modifying agent harness
You're in luck; plenty of basic information as to it's implementation and self extending nature right there in the repo.

It was enough for me to see the value.

In conclusion we merely reasserted "it's relative".

If your needs are met otherwise stick to that and move on.

Not everything needs to fit your needs, including the documentation. Bizarre how you seem to think someone else owes you answers to questions you don't seem to want to try and answer yourself.

Since I am here though and find this project actually interesting; I like the idea of systems that offer, overall, the same utility but are implemented to be as minimal as possible. LLMs are exactly that; look at all the utility from some for loops sorting a huge pile of data. So a harness that's also minimal at its core and endlessly self extending just corner cases unlike pi's ponytail skills which ironically packs a ton of opinions into a workflow up front, pitching the minimalism it aspires to in the bin, seems like a Homer car to me.

But I am a hardware engineer biased by experience with minimalism; I got a single data structure (electromagnetism) to manipulate and BOMs that come with hard constraints.

On the contrary, web SaaS devs want to run a business/rocket to the moon moreso than be an engineer. As such git pulling, pip installing the world allows them to focus on their get rich quick with as little labor involved as possible goal front and center.

greyishblu··on Could AIs Become Conscious?
Simulation is not empirical. You cannot swap substrates; brain for computer; and claim that's how a brain, and thus human consciousness works. That would be making a claim about electromagnetism in a computer not human consciousness.

Every effort to look under the hood will get blurry. Because we cannot confirm past and future states on long timescales either direction we end up with Gödel's incompleteness; lack of empirical observation of all past and future information means we cannot prove all statements are true.

Without observation of all particles ever (impossible) there is never resolving "under the hood". So a seemingly superficial daily life description like a feedback loop of sensory input and mechanical response
