A Controlled Replication of a Self-Model Loop for Language-Model Agents: Controls, Confounds, and Finite-Horizon Path Dependence
An independent, clean-room reimplementation of a self-model loop architecture for language-model agents (the "AC1 loop" described in Lark Laflamme's 2026 AC1-LLM / Laflamme-3T essays). The architecture wraps an LLM with a Bayesian belief over the agent's own interaction stance, re-injected into generation each turn alo...
