Abstract

For the purposes of this paper self-improvement will be defined to be the automatic development of problem solving heuristics. The reason for such a narrow definition will be indicated. Precise formulation of the concepts of problem and game will form the basis for the discussion of self-improving programs and an attempt to deal with the question of their adequacies.The relationship between self improvement and the process of learning will be established in specific cases. The idea of “proof generalization” as a basis of self-improvement will also be discussed. Case studies, where they exist and are understood will be indicated.
