Agent = model + harness

Click the print to set a target. With the harness off, the model is a brain in a vat. Plan refines the goal estimate and predicts drift. Tools give live feedback for course correction. Memory keeps unfinished goals when you click somewhere new, and the verifier checks arrival.

Harness:
A Japanese woodblock-style landscape of a pine overlooking a river and mountain.
Brain in a vat hits: 0 · misses: 0

Shaded trails show actual paths. Dots trace estimates. Symbols sharing a cell take turns.

The dotted ring follows the agent’s current goal estimate. The latest click stays marked after arrival.
