🎯 Educational Impact & Scaling Laws
This implementation demonstrates key ASI-ARCH principles:
- Computational Scaling: More compute → more discoveries (paper) vs. More battles → better tactics (AlphaTanks)
- Emergent Intelligence: Unexpected design patterns emerge autonomously
- Self-Improving Systems: AI designs better AI through iterative enhancement
- Move 37 Moments: AI discovers strategies beyond human intuition
"Like AlphaGo's Move 37 revealed strategic insights invisible to human players,
both the paper's neural architectures and AlphaTanks' behavioral patterns
demonstrate emergent design principles that systematically surpass human intuition."
