RL Domains And Systems
This document is the map of the reinforcement-learning surface in
_AugmentedIntelligence. It explains the shared RL infrastructure, the domain
modules, the training/deployment ladder, and the commands used to inspect or run
the systems.
For MathNN details, see docs/MathNN.md. For the live curriculum catalog, see
docs/RLCurriculum.md.
Big Picture
The RL stack has three layers:
- Generic RL substrate: state/action spaces, environments, replay buffers,
algorithms, exploration, planning, neural DQN, distributed RL, and deployment
gates.
- Domain modules: Minecraft, FPS gaming, strategy games, driving, knowledge,
parenting, political-news triage, real-world hooks, and curriculum smoke
environments.
- Safety/deployment controls: simulation-first training, offline replay,
shadow mode, gated live execution, safe-action shields, checkpoints, and
promotion rules.
The preferred path for any domain is:
[text]
Sim -> Offline -> Shadow -> GatedLive -> Live
Do not skip directly to live actuation. High-stakes domains should remain in
simulation, offline analysis, or human-reviewed advisory mode unless there is a
separate validated safety layer.

Algorithms
Local C++ Algorithms
These run locally without a tensor/autograd backend:
- Q-learning
- Double Q-learning
- SARSA(lambda)
- Expected SARSA
- Dyna-Q
- Linear-Q function approximation
- UCB bandits
- Thompson-sampling bandits

Use these for smoke tests, tabular policies, smaller state vectors, action
selection, and local DQN experiments.
Remote Or Heavy Deep-RL Algorithms
These are declared in the deep-RL interface and route to a remote policy server
or tensor/autograd backend for training:
- PPO
- A2C
- SAC
- TD3
- DDPG
- IQL
- CQL
- Rainbow DQN
- C51
- QR-DQN
- Dreamer
- GAIL
- Behavior Cloning
- ICM
- RND
- DIAYN
Use these when the policy needs large neural networks, continuous-control
training, offline deep RL, imitation learning, or heavy world-model training.

Recommended use:
Keep this in simulation/review. Do not wire it directly to a real vehicle
actuator. Use dry-run on and shield on by default.
Knowledge RL
Files:
- KnowledgeAcquisitionRL.hpp/.cpp
- docs/KnowledgeRL.md
Purpose:
Knowledge RL learns which claims to present, review, label, train, or evaluate.
It tracks claim text, epistemic labels, source trust, conflicts, confidence,
replay, and policy state.
Modes:
- off
- acquire
- train
- eval
Main commands:
[text]
knowledge on
knowledge off
knowledge status
knowledge claim <statement>
knowledge next
knowledge true|false|depends|unknown
knowledge label true|false|depends|unknown <claim>
knowledge conflicts
knowledge trust <source_or_claim> <0.0-1.0>

knowledge rl step
knowledge rl train replay [episodes]
knowledge rl eval
knowledge rl replay [limit]
knowledge rl benchmark [episodes]
knowledge rl explain
knowledge rl use
knowledge rl stats
knowledge rl graphs [directory]
Recommended use:
Use Knowledge RL to prioritize review and labeling, not as proof. It should
surface conflicts, uncertainty, and source-trust issues before claims are used
downstream.
Parenting / Child Psychology RL
Files:
- ChildPsychologyParentingRL.hpp/.cpp
- docs/CHILD_PSYCHOLOGY_PARENTING_RL.md
Purpose:
This subsystem is a safety-bounded parenting coaching simulator. RL is limited
to offline simulation, shadow-mode evaluation, and parent-facing suggestions.
It is not a diagnostic or clinical decision system and never autonomously
messages, disciplines, or directs a child.
Main commands:
[text]
parenting rl status
parenting rl domains
parenting rl safety
parenting rl actions
parenting rl curriculum
parenting rl observe <de-identified situation text>
parenting rl evaluate <situation text>
parenting rl train [episodes] [max_steps]
parenting rl export <path>
parenting rl reset
Recommended use:
Keep observations de-identified. Treat output as coaching suggestions for an
adult caregiver, not medical, psychological, or emergency guidance.
Political News RL
Files:
- PoliticalRL.hpp/.cpp
- PoliticalRLCore.hpp
- lua_scripts/Political-News-RL.lua
Purpose:
Political RL is a local political-news triage agent. It uses a UCB1 feed
portfolio bandit to choose RSS feeds, rewards novelty and relevance, extracts
legislative bill mentions, and flags volume spikes.
Main commands:
[text]
politics status
politics tick [n]
politics brief [n]
politics bills
politics save
politics load
Recommended use:
Use for local analysis and triage only. Rewards are novelty, coverage, and
relevance, not engagement or persuasion. Keep source links/provenance attached.
Real-World RL Environments
Files:
- RLReal.hpp/.cpp
- RLRealEnvs.hpp/.cpp
- RLDeployment.hpp/.cpp
- RL_REALWORLD.md
Purpose:
Real-world RL registers RLEnv implementations that can observe real systems
and optionally actuate through host hooks. The deployment gate decides whether
any action may execute.
Built-in environment:
- llm_routing: contextual bandit over the NetLLM backend pool. This is the
recommended first live RL environment because it has no physical actuation.
Hook-driven presets:
- Desktop automation
- Perception tuning
- Home IoT
- Fleet remediation
- ROS robot
Recommended use:
Start with rl real route or llm_routing. Keep physical or operational
domains in sim, offline, or shadow until checkpoints are promoted and
action gates pass.
Differential / Physics RL
Files:
- RLDifferential.hpp/.cpp
- MathControl.hpp/.cpp
- MathODE components
Purpose:
Differential RL connects RL to physical dynamics and control theory.
Capabilities:
- CartPole RLEnv with RK4-integrated ODE dynamics.
- Ornstein-Uhlenbeck exploration noise for continuous control.
- Return-stability tripwire.
- Reachability checks and control-barrier style safety gates.
Recommended use:
Use for physics simulator smoke tests, robotics-like control experiments, and
safe-RL verification before connecting policies to real actuators.
Distributed RL / RLAIF / Offline RL
Files:
- RLDistributed.hpp/.cpp
Purpose:
Distributed RL lets multiple actors push transitions to a learner, publish
parameters back to actors, run population-based training, load offline datasets,
and use LLM-based reward/preference scoring.
Capabilities:
- Transition serialization and parsing.
- Actor-to-learner transition push.
- Incoming learner queue.
- Parameter publishing/pulling.
- Population-based training reports and exploit/explore config mutation.
- RLAIF trajectory scoring and pairwise preference scoring.
- Offline dataset loading into replay buffers.
Recommended use:
Use when training data is generated across machines or domains. Keep the reward
rubric explicit when using RLAIF, and audit LLM-scored rewards before treating
them as training signal.

The generic smoke domains use synthetic observations and safe action families.
They do not touch external services.
Training And Evaluation Workflow
Use this sequence for any new RL domain:
- Define the state vector and normalize every feature.
- Define the action library and legal-action rules.
- Define reward, terminal, and truncation conditions.
- Run synthetic or simulator smoke tests first.
- Log transitions and inspect replay before training long sessions.
- Start with tabular/Q-table or local MathNN DQN.
- Add neural or remote deep-RL training only after the domain loop is correct.
- Evaluate with exploration disabled.
- Save and tag checkpoints.
- Promote only if evaluation clears the threshold and safety review passes.
- Move to shadow mode before any live actuation.
- Use gated live mode before live mode.
Useful first commands:
[text]
rl curriculum smoke all 8 96
rl curriculum next
rl net status
rl real envs
Safety Model
RL systems in this project should be treated as action-selection systems, not
general-purpose truth engines. The safe pattern is:
- Simulation first.
- Offline replay second.
- Shadow mode before actuation.
- Gated live before live.
- Promoted checkpoints only.
- Safe-action shields always on for high-impact domains.
- Kill switch and manual override available.
- Human approval for healthcare, parenting, finance, legal, infrastructure,
driving, robotics, cybersecurity, and desktop/Windows automation.

Short Summary
The RL stack has a reusable C++ substrate, multiple local algorithms, MathNN DQN
support, distributed/offline hooks, a broad curriculum catalog, and several
domain-specific systems. The highest-value operational habit is to separate
learning from actuation: train and test in simulation or offline replay, inspect
behavior, save checkpoints, evaluate, then advance through the deployment ladder
only when the policy is measurably better and safety gates pass.
