Research brief / Security & evidence
LOOPBANK Bounded Iteration
A bounded iteration protocol that makes loops, exit conditions, evidence, and remaining uncertainty visible.
The research question
When does another attempt create useful evidence, and when should the system stop?
Inside the work
The method counts the initial attempt in a total budget, requires a material change and evidence for a retry, and stops on pass, stagnation, an unsafe state, or exhaustion. Repeated unresolved failure routes back to the affected assumption instead of quietly changing the original requirement.
The project, memory, and research operating system behind this whole body of work. The Home Base project offers a concrete way into this field of research.
