In plain language

Researchers are testing if repeatedly asking a system to create new things and then selecting the most novel creations can lead to more complex and original outputs over time. They will track how novel the creations become across several rounds of this process. The results are still being analyzed.

▶ Technical details

Research hypothesis

ACDC-mini (paper3 §4.5) showed forcing alone produces compliance + retrieval template-loop. Adding selection-on-novelty + multi-generation reproduction may extract combinatorial novelty from the substrate's trajectory space. Falsifiable prediction: novelty score (cosine distance vs prior-generation archive) climbs across generations 2-5 OR plateaus.
