The issue I have with loops is that for truly complex work, where I care about building a generalized solution for a complex problem, the agents frequently reward hack and end up burning indefinitely without finishing until I step in.

Curious how you're addressing this

Totally. Earth's rotation is a loop too. We should count that.

You are absolutely correct. It's an i18n/l10n issue. They spin in the opposite direction in the other hemisphere.

I think of them from the outside in, so that's why I illustrated it that way.
