Armin's piece resonated. I've been running these loops for months — ultrawhale is a self-improving coding agent that dogfeeds itself on a 10s loop. (I'm `using` it daily, standalone mode is very buggy, but as a `subagent`, `gateway`, it's the orchestrator of my loops)

My extension: the loop has already escalated past "write loops that prompt Claude." Now loops write loops. The job shifts to holding the genesis contract — being clear about what you want the loop to become, because you won't be tracking the recursive depth yourself. LLMs do that part.

Also: this post was dictated on my phone, sent to Claude, synthesized into the article. The post is the example. - peter
