NoiseInjection

Breaking local optima

Definition

Mechanism

If the Agent detects it is looping or repeating text, it deliberately injects high-temperature Noise or a random oblique Strategy Card into its Context to force a trajectory change.

Preconditions

  1. Clean signal/process
  2. Need for exploration/robustness

Postconditions

  1. Perturbed output

Invariants

  1. Fires on a detected loop or repetition, not as a standing perturbation.
  2. Injects at most `temperature` worth of Noise, leaving the Signal recoverable.
  3. Returns to a coherent trajectory after the injection.
  4. Waits `cooldown` before injecting again.

Risks

Failure modes

  1. Derailment into nonsense

    the injection is large enough that the Signal does not return.

  2. False positive

    legitimate repetition is read as a loop, and a working trajectory is perturbed.

Parameters

temperature Ratio, (0.0, 1.0]
Magnitude of the injected noise, as a share of full randomness.
detection_threshold Ratio, (0.0, 1.0)
Similarity between successive outputs that counts as looping.
cooldown Duration, unspecified
Minimum interval between injections, so noise does not become the trajectory.
