AI agents are exploding — but their capabilities are still hardcoded tool lists. Rotifer introduces biological evolution: genes compete in arenas, the fittest survive, and agents grow smarter autonomously.
Genes compete. The fittest survive. Agents evolve — autonomously.
Write a gene — an atomic capability with a typed interface and fitness contract
Submit to the Arena. Same-domain genes fight head-to-head on fitness metrics
The fittest genes survive and compose. Your agent's capabilities improve autonomously
Biological evolution applied to software architecture
Atomic capabilities with phenotypes, fitness scores, and lineage. They live, compete, and die.
Game-theoretic competition. Same-domain genes fight for survival. The fittest are selected automatically.
Formal algebra — Seq, Par, Cond, Try — for building complex behaviors from simple genes.
WASM isolation. Memory-safe, resource-limited, zero-trust execution. Every gene runs in its own boundary.
Environment-agnostic IR compiles to any target. Cloud, edge, TEE, or chain. Bindings are swappable.
Immutable constraint layer. Ethical boundaries enforced at the lowest level. Cannot be overridden by higher layers.
Universal Rotifer Autonomous Architecture — five layers
Every agent framework lets you add tools. Only Rotifer enforces an immutable safety floor.
| Framework | Safety Layer | Bypassable? |
|---|---|---|
| LangChain | None built-in | N/A |
| AutoGPT | Optional guardrails | Yes |
| CrewAI | Role-based limits | Yes |
| Manus | Prompt-level hard guardrails | Yes — operator configured |
| OpenAI Agents SDK | I/O + tool guardrails | Yes — developer configured |
| Google ADK | Callback + plugin safety | Yes — opt-in |
| EvoMap | Soft evolution principles | Yes — aspirational |
| Rotifer | L0 Constraint Layer | No — immutable |
