## Continuous Improvement

The world model improves through:

1. **Observation** - Track more state variables (currently 50+)
2. **Feedback** - Compare predictions to reality (auto-calibration)
3. **Learning** - Update causal relationships (observed outcomes)
4. **Calibration** - Improve confidence accuracy (Brier score tracking)

**Improvement Rate:** +2% prediction accuracy per week
