What makes self-improvement recursive?
An accepted capability must help drive later self-improvement. Showing that loop exists and showing that recursion helps are separate claims.

What changes, how it returns to the next improver, and what the evidence supports.
MetaSkill-Evolve reuses an edited improvement procedure
Evolved meta-skills guide later skill and meta-skill updates. The recursive mechanism is explicit; causal attribution and scientific transfer remain separate questions.

Three model–harness cycles carry improvements forward, while a fixed auxiliary model edits the harness. This does not establish a stronger self-improver.
