Self Evolving Heuristics

Overview

Identify static decision points in the codebase and rewrite them as registry-backed heuristics that evolve via runtime observations.

Workflow

1. Scan for bottlenecks
   • python scripts/scan_bottlenecks.py --root . --output runs/heuristics_bottlenecks.json
2. Build the heuristic registry
   • python scripts/build_registry.py --input runs/heuristics_bottlenecks.json --output memory/agent_state_v1/heuristics.json
3. Install the registry module for runtime use
   • python scripts/install_registry.py --repo .
4. Emit a patch plan
   • python scripts/emit_patch_plan.py --input runs/heuristics_bottlenecks.json --output runs/heuristics_patch_plan.md
5. Apply the plan manually
   • Replace constants with heuristics_registry.get_value("key", default=<literal>).
   • Add heuristics_registry.observe("key", observed_value) after each execution to evolve the value.

Update Pattern

from core.sovereignty_v2 import heuristics_registry

threshold = heuristics_registry.get_value("core_worker.cpu_threshold", default=0.85)
if cpu_usage > threshold:
    ...
heuristics_registry.observe("core_worker.cpu_threshold", cpu_usage)

Notes

• Keep bounds conservative and only update from reliable signals.
• Re-run the scan after patching to confirm remaining constants are intentional.
