When the plan changes, does an adaptive heuristic choose better work?
Exact work selection under budgets and revisions; the adaptive heuristic did worse, 43 to 59 of 64.
Design choice
Solve the small problem exactly on every revision, and test an adaptive heuristic against a simple reactive baseline rather than assume it helps.
In practice
For a small queue, exact selection is cheap. Measure an adaptive layer before trusting it.
What I built
- Exact selection over a prerequisite graph within named budgets
- Replanning that keeps completed work
- Counterfactuals: what forcing a task in would displace
- Standard library only; the negative result is kept
Where it stops
At most 20 tasks, four named budgets, capacity 0 to 128 and a one-second planning deadline. The simulation is authored. That the adaptive approach works better is not established, and this is not general AI reasoning.
