- What makes evolving the benchmark different from evolving the optimizer itself?
- Can the same problem be solved by multiple evolutionary search strategies?
- Can moving or evolving objectives prevent misalignment in discovery agents?
- How do evolutionary archives enable diverse exploration in self-improving systems?

- Can co-evolved critics truly circumvent static evaluator limitations in self-improvement?
- How would a bi-level agent restructure objective functions during discovery?
- Does removing static external utility break the formal guarantees of self-improvement loops?
- How does controlled utility evolution prevent the evaluator from becoming a new bottleneck?
- Can AI systems generate and refine their own objective functions?
- Why do evolutionary algorithms collapse to single solutions under selection pressure?
