omarsar0 · x · 2026-08-20
In a hidden-rule knight-placement game, the Critic demonstrated superiority over environment rewards.
- Scenario: Two branches ran for 64 rounds with identical environmental rewards (a tie).
- Outcome:
- Branch A found the real constraint (score: 3.80).
- Branch B misunderstood the objective (score: 2.29).
- Conclusion: The reward signal saw a tie, but the Critic identified real progress.
