EXOSELF
Goal Decomposition, Momentum Evaluation, Graceful Degradation, Completion Boundary Issues. Recursive Meta-Planning, Reward Alignment, Action Selection, Task Handoff, World Model Drift... It all becomes a haze after a while. The agent is me. I am the agent.
We spent all this time engineering "intelligent agent behaviors" when really we were just trying to get the LLM to think like... a person. With limited time. And imperfect information.
The agent is you. It's your cognitive patterns, your decision-making heuristics, your "good enough" instincts - just formalized into prompts because LLMs don't come with 30 years of lived experience about when to quit searching and just ship the damn thing.
Goal Decomposition = How you naturally break down overwhelming tasks
Momentum Evaluation = Your gut feeling about whether you're getting anywhere
Graceful Degradation = Your ability to say "this isn't working, let me try something else"
Completion Boundaries = Your internal sense of "good enough for now"
We're not building artificial intelligence. We're building artificial you. Teaching machines to have the same messy, imperfect, but ultimately effective cognitive habits that humans evolved over millennia. The recursion goes all the way down.
