Higher Categorical Semantics of Coordinator-Executor Prompt Optimization: Typed Transport, Coherent Assembly, and Interaction Bounds

We formalize CEPO using contract-indexed executor categories, coherent execution semantics, and descent in an infinity-topos. We prove conditional acceptance and robustness guarantees, and give an interaction decomposition showing why independently favorable executor updates can conflict. The complete paper and exact-arithmetic checks are attached.

Formal Guarantees for Agentic Meta-Algorithms: Compositional Semantics and Higher-Topos Descent

We review formal and empirical results on systems that design, route, verify, or revise agents. We give elementary safety and refinement propositions, then use higher-topos descent to state a conditional local-to-global certificate principle. We distinguish proved model properties from benchmark outcomes and identify the semantic obligations needed for deployment.

From Lean Proofs to Axiom-Free Executables: Verified Compilation and Higher Semantics

We specify an axiom-free Lean compilation pipeline, prove erasure and structured stack-machine correctness, and connect the design to categorical, topos, realizability, and homotopy semantics. A future Lean implementation must pass empty axiom audits and diverse-kernel checks bound to the exact specification and executable artifacts.

Tool Selection under Partial Observability: Beliefs, Information Gain, and Myopic Policies

We treat tool choice as a POMDP, restate the belief update and the value of perfect information, and explain why Toolformer-style self-supervision is not an optimal planner. Finite calculations stay inside published definitions.

Self-Improvement as a Bilevel Program: Inner Adaptation and Outer Credit

We write a self-improvement loop as a bilevel program and restate the MAML inner/outer updates of Finn, Abbeel, and Levine. Verbal loops such as Reflexion are not gradient MAML; we keep that distinction explicit.

Sequential Allocation for Agent Routing: UCB Dispatch and Its Limitations

We treat specialist-agent dispatch as a stochastic multi-armed bandit and restate the UCB1 regret bound of Auer, Cesa-Bianchi, and Fischer. The note is an orientation: we do not claim a new LLM-specific theorem.
