ouroboros

A specification, with no code. The idea is a single prompt of at most 4,096 tokens that makes any capable language model write its own execution harness and then run a continuous loop modeled on a PID controller: present analysis as the proportional term, compressed history as the integral, prediction as the derivative. Self-updates are quine-style, checked against an identity hash and rejected when it does not match. Eight requirements and a twelve-component design are written; none of the 80 items in the task plan is done.
