MIT professor Markus Buehler describes "recursive meta-intelligence": an AI that builds its own scientific instruments, turns them into persistent worlds inhabited by an ecology of hundreds of AI agents, and mines those worlds for mechanistic principles of how complex hierarchical materials evolve and fail—compressing vast, nonlinear chains of physical trajectories into human-understandable design principles.
