The author shares the arXiv source (2610.18842) for the Physical Recursive Self-Improvement survey. The attached figure shows the paper's core framework: a task-execution system (harness + parametric models) acting on the physical world through safety and control, plus the L0–L5 taxonomy — L1–L4 separate capability-level from meta-level updates within and across tasks, L0 has no autonomous improvement loop, and L5 requires independently verified recursive gain. Code: SAIL-Research-Lab/Physical-RSI on GitHub.
