Overview
Many optimization tasks consist of repeated, small experiments rather than one decisive insight.
Human attention is poorly used when every iteration requires manual editing, testing, comparison, and logging. An agent can run this mechanical loop continuously while a human defines the target, constraints, and acceptable risk.
The result is a shift in human responsibility. Instead of directing every action, the human defines the research environment: what may change, what success means, how results are measured, and which qualities must not be sacrificed.
