Remark. Fixed-weight self-improvement is not weight training [ftip-00CC]
Remark. Fixed-weight self-improvement is not weight training [ftip-00CC]
Prime Agent Section 2.5 uses the phrase ``self-improvement'' for execution evidence converted into persistent prompts, memories, skills, or subagent specifications while model weights remain fixed [karten2026prime, Section 2.5]. In the notation of Definition [ftip-00C4], this is a change to \(h\) with \(M\) held fixed.
The term therefore does not establish a change to the model artifact, a new learned circuit, or capability acquisition in the sense of Definition [ftip-0007]. It describes persistent harness adaptation.
