Filling the decision space

Ordinary generation circles what it already knows. The question this pilot asks is whether a machine that maps the space as it generates can reach the regions a strong agentic run never enters.

Setup

Four domains, each seeded with a single question. Our machine generated 20 decision sequences per domain from a small open model (Qwen-class 27B, 4-bit). The baseline: a single unbounded multi-agent frontier run with tools — a frontier model in a multi-turn agentic harness, free to browse, recurse and spawn sub-agents (169 samples). Both outputs were mapped against a tracked concept space per domain, and coverage was measured, not eyeballed.

Result

The generated sequences reached every tracked concept in all four domains. The frontier run reached at most 22% of the same space — staying, domain after domain, near where it started. At pilot cut-off our coverage curve was still climbing: the probe set was full; the space was not.

Four domains, back to back. Each map is a 2-D projection of one domain's concept space. Blue: generated sequences spreading to cover it. Red: the single frontier run — staying where it started.

Why it matters

Coverage is the property everything else depends on. A specialist trained on data that circles its seed inherits the seed's blind spots; a specialist trained on data with measured coverage of the mapped space can hold experience for regions where nothing has happened yet. This pilot is the first direct measurement that our generation reaches those regions and a strong agentic baseline does not.

This establishes

  • At pilot scale, space-first generation from a small open model covers a tracked concept space that a single unbounded multi-agent frontier run does not.
  • The coverage measurement itself — coverage here is a number, computed against a mapped space, not an impression.
