Solving Goodhart’s Law in Prompt Optimization: The Modular Octad Framework for Recursive Meta-Prompt Evolution
Summary I have developed and experimentally validated the Modular Octad Framework, a system that evolves "meta-prompts" (instructions for generating prompts) rather than static prompts. By implementing a recursive virtuous cycle with a Persistent Bonus Decay mechanism, I achieved over a 2000% increase in fitness scores while effectively preventing reward hacking...
