# Recursive Engine Observatory

A tiny deterministic Gradio instrument for inspecting whether one cycle changes the conditions of the next.

## What this prototype demonstrates

1. **Iteration 1** creates a structured recursive event.
2. An environmental response introduces contradictory information.
3. **Iteration 2** consumes that preserved information.
4. The interpretation and action change.
5. An independent inspector checks the trace.

This is intentionally not a claim that the system is conscious, autonomous, or a novel intelligence mechanism. It is a small test harness for the narrower recursive-engine hypothesis described in the GestaltView source material.

## Hugging Face

Create a new Gradio Space and upload `app.py`, `requirements.txt`, and this README.

The prototype is session-local. It does not pretend that in-memory state is durable persistence. A later version can replace the state store with a real persistence boundary, such as the GestaltView action API.
