When Should the Teacher Move? Temporal Coupling and Stability in Self On-Policy Distillation

arXiv:2606. 03532v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Self on-policy distillation trains a student policy against a teacher derived from its own parameter history, yet the teacher's update schedule -- which governs the \emph{temporal coupling} between teacher and student -- has not been systematically studied as a stability variable.

Learning Multi-Timescale Interventions under Safety and Resource Constraints

arXiv:2508. 03875v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Many sequential decision problems offer qualitatively different ways of influencing the environment: some interventions act immediately, whereas others induce persistent effects that continue to shape future states long after the decision that initiated them.

BioBlue: Systematic runaway-optimiser-like LLM failure modes on biologically and economically aligned AI safety benchmarks for LLMs with simplified observation format

arXiv:2509. 02655v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Many AI alignment discussions of "runaway optimisation" focus on RL agents: unbounded utility maximisers that over-optimise a proxy objective (e.

Feedback-Coupled Memory Systems in Continuous Time

arXiv:2607. 09714v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The Feedback-Coupled Memory Systems (FCMS) architecture formalizes closed-loop coordination through four abstract operators, two of which - the agent update operator $f_i$ and the environmental update operator $\Psi$ - are left axiomatically undefined in the original framework.

Regime-Conditional Stabilisation of LLM-Augmented Cooperative Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2607. 04470v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) offer a natural interface for translating human objectives into reward signals for cooperative multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL), yet the training-time dynamics of this integration remain poorly understood.
