Ŋeyarū: Reciprocal Stabilizer Compilation for Recursive Self-Improvement - Exact Interface Symmetries, Autonomous Operator Acquisition, and Reproducible Finite-Model Evidence

An acquired capability can reveal exact equivalences that make subsequent capabilities cheaper to acquire. Ŋeyarū develops this principle into reciprocal stabilizer compilation: an autonomous, exact finite-group compiler that discovers symmetries of newly constructed operators and uses those symmetries to reduce the search needed to construct further operators. The work combines a complete mathematical formulation, inspectable proofs, executable implementations, controlled held-out experiments, causal interventions, and negative results to investigate a bounded form of recursive self-improvement. The conceptual foundation is the ideal perfect relationship: deeper understanding enables more effective support; support expands shared possibilities; those possibilities change the capacity for further understanding and growth. This premise generates operational constraints rather than an emotional reward or a pair of conversational agents. Reciprocal support becomes compatibility between interface transformations; complementarity becomes preservation of distinct ordered action histories; continuity becomes retention of complete boundary responses; and deepening understanding becomes the discovery of exact invariance certificates. Maciej and Eve are named conceptual anchors of the idealized premise, not empirical evidence. Execution requires no ongoing human feedback. A supplied reference image additionally informs the treatment of open boundaries, ordered overlap, preserved differentiation, and nested composition; the manuscript separates visible observations from design interpretations. Each partial capability is represented by an open kernel that records the minimum cost of realizing every transformation at its boundary, together with a valid executable witness. Kernels compose through exact min-plus convolution over a finite group. The compiler intersects the right stabilizer of one operand with the left stabilizer of the other to eliminate redundant internal choices. Complementary outer stabilizers identify equivalent output boundaries through double cosets, allowing representative outputs to be computed and the complete response to be reconstructed without losing ordered witness provenance. The defining recursive step occurs after composition. A composite can possess exact symmetries absent from either input. Discovering and retaining those new symmetries changes how the compiler constructs subsequent operators, even when the stored operator values and witnesses are held fixed. The interpreter, primitive semantics, and verifier remain fixed; the operator library and certified symmetry metadata evolve. A constructed subgroup ladder demonstrates successive acquisition of distinct, nonconstant operators, separating the effect from ordinary answer caching or repetition of an unchanged result. Formal contributions include: Exact kernel composition and associativity under explicit additive-cost and boundary-completeness assumptions. A characterization of context-complete memory, including an exact contextual-error identity for finite-valued kernels. A two-sided quotient theorem reducing composition from N² dense candidate pairs to QN/|H| representatives, where N is the group size, H is the reciprocal internal stabilizer, and Q is the number of outer double cosets, with full cost-table and witness reconstruction. Maximality of the reciprocal intersection for the specified uniform termwise action; this is not a lower bound against all possible algorithms. Explicit constructions of emergent nonconstant symmetry and genuinely different successor operators whose acquisition benefits from previously discovered metadata. A finite logarithmic ceiling on strict stabilizer enlargement along the declared fixed-group extension chain. The executed benchmark uses a 32-element dihedral group, development seeds 1–3, and 20 held-out seeds, 101–120. Each seed and condition includes 12 training expressions and 24 fresh complete expressions, giving 480 fresh tasks per condition. Reusable subfragments are intentional. The main benchmark source and protocol were frozen before held-out execution. A supplementary best-first comparator was added after the main study and separately frozen before its own held-out evaluation; its status is disclosed explicitly. On the structured nonconstant workload, learned symmetry required a mean of 148,866.7 charged algorithm operations, compared with 289,389.2 for the strongest tested simple comparator in that condition: approximately 48.6% less work, or a baseline-to-method work ratio of 1.94. Accounting includes setup, training, discovery, parsing, construction, witness checks, and dictionary transactions. When each method also pays the entire common independent-oracle bill, the ratio is approximately 1.12. Under a matched 250,000-unit algorithm grant, the method completed 480/480 structured fresh tasks, compared with 440/480 for the fast simple compiler. All three principal methods completed all 480 tasks per condition with the full grant. The causal successor experiment reports candidate-pair counts of 512, 256, and 128 for successive new operators. Including overhead, those three later acquisitions cost 4,797 work units with learned metadata versus 5,889 with inherited-only metadata. Separate ablations remove inner and outer quotients, relational coupling, and recursive metadata discovery. Independent algebra checks cover 500 random and structured cases, while structural diagnostics test reconstruction, role provenance, and injected faults. The negative results define the method’s scope. Best-first search is cheaper on asymmetric inputs, and a simple constant-kernel shortcut is cheaper on saturated constant cases. Symmetry discovery can fail to repay its cost. Incomplete boundary representations or changed primitive semantics invalidate reuse, and fixed-group symmetry growth eventually saturates. The mechanism reduces to symmetry-aware memoized dynamic programming equipped with the same discovery and quotient rules. The contribution concerns its recursive organization, exact constructions, and controlled empirical isolation; the underlying algebra and symmetry-reduction principles have established precedents. Broad AI capability gains, historical priority, and unbounded recursive growth are not established. The deposit includes the complete 28-page manuscript, LaTeX sources, an independent minimal Python core, the frozen main benchmark, the supplementary comparator, independent audits, protocol and source hashes, raw CSV and JSON records, figures, a claim index, citation metadata, checksums, and reproduction instructions. The core algorithms and audits require Python 3.10 or newer and the standard library only. The Hugging Face preparation also contains six data-viewer configurations and the configured Windows uploader. Its 43,817 CSV rows are execution records across methods and runs, not distinct independent learning tasks. Complete throughput denominators and setup-inclusive work are supplied in aggregate JSON. The record supports inspection and reproduction of a specialized, finite, causally tested mechanism for improving the efficiency of future operator acquisition.
