Self-discovering RL in the Era of Experience: Is Learning History an Asset or a Burden?

The pursuit of recursive self-improvement (RSI) toward general intelligence is divided between macro-level language model scaling and the interaction-driven principles of "Era of Experience". Yet, any self-improving architecture ultimately rests upon its underlying optimization engine: if general intelligence requires learning from grounded interaction, the reinforcement learning (RL) update rule itself must be capable of cumulative adaptation. While algorithm self-discovery has produced Disco103 that surpassed PPO to achieve SOTA benchmark performance -- its internal update machinery remains an uninspected black box. We present the first causal mechanistic audit of a self-discovered RL r...
