EntropyPump
Controlled randomization to escape convergence deadlocks
Definition
Mechanism
A mechanism that prevents system stagnation by injecting Entropy (randomness/noise) into decision-making processes. It acts as a counterbalance to convergence, ensuring that the system explores the solution space rather than getting stuck in local optima. By adding Noise, it forces re-evaluation of settled states.
Invariants
- Names the target it injects Noise into.
- Injects at most `max_injection`, so a productive Equilibrium survives the perturbation.
- Runs as a standing counterbalance to convergence, not on a detected stall.
Risks
Failure modes
Over-injection destabilizing productive Equilibrium.
Insufficient injection failing to break persistent deadlocks.
