Gödel machine

A Gödel machine is a theoretical computer program designed to improve itself by proving that these improvements will make it more efficient or capable before actually implementing them. It can analyze its own code and reasoning processes to determine whether certain modifications are beneficial, ensuring that any changes are mathematically guaranteed to enhance its performance according to its goals. This self-improvement process is grounded in formal logic, inspired by mathematical proofs, and aims for the machine to autonomously evolve into a more intelligent and effective system within predefined safety and correctness parameters.
