To BEAT 5// it you need a NONLINEAR feature -- which is exactly the grammar-expansion machinery. Honest setup: items from 6// {3,4,6}, capacity 10 -> a post-placement gap of 1..2 is DEAD (no item can ever fill it). Best-fit greedily takes 7// the tightest fit and provably leaves dead gaps (e.g. [3,6,3,4,4]: best-fit 3 bins, optimal 2). A mined NONLINEAR 8// "dead-gap penalty" feature avoids them. The environment SELECTS the feature that actually beats best-fit (no-fake- 9// green); red-herring features are rejected. NO LLM anywhere -- the feature is mined+verified, the weights evolved. 10// T1 LINEAR CEILING: the linear grammar (evolved) only MATCHES best-fit (can't beat it). 11// T2 GRAMMAR EXPANSION + SELECT: of candidate features {dead-gap, perfect-fit, big-gap} only dead-gap beats best-fit -> selected. 12// T3 THE WIN: the expanded heuristic (base + dead-gap) uses STRICTLY FEWER bins than best-fit on HELD-OUT. 13// T4 MEASURE (honest): held-out bins for best-fit / linear-evolved / expanded. 14// T5 = FunSearch's result (beat the strong human heuristic) reached SOVEREIGNLY via grammar expansion, no LLM. 15// expect_exit: 0 license_tier: ORIGINAL 16import "nx_syscalls.nx" 17 18func grow(name: *u8, ok: i64) -> i64 { if ok==1 { gw(" PASS " as *u8) } else { gw(" FAIL " as *u8) } gw(name); gw(" 19" as *u8); return ok } 20func lcg(st: *i64) -> i64 { st[0]=((1103515245*st[0])+12345)&2147483647; return st[0] } 21 22const CAP: i64 = 10 23 24// nonlinear candidate FEATURES of a placement (rem=bin remaining, s=item). post = rem-s. 25// 0 dead-gap: post in [1,2] (a gap no item can fill, since min item is 3) 26// 1 perfect-fit: post==0 (best-fit already prefers this -> won't beat it) 27// 2 big-gap: post>=5 (leaves lots of room -> not obviously useful) 28func feature(fid: i64, rem: i64, s: i64) -> i64 { 29 let post: i64=rem-s 30 if fid==0 { if post>=1 { if post<=2 { return 1 } } return 0 } 31 if fid==1 { if post==0 { return 1 } return 0 } 32 if fid==2 { if post>=5 { return 1 } return 0 } 33 return 0 34} 35// score a placement (rem=bin remaining BEFORE placing s). 36func pscore(w: *i64, fid: i64, rem: i64, s: i64) -> i64 { 37 var sc: i64=(w[0]*rem)+(w[1]*(rem-s))+(w[2]*s)+w[3] 38 if fid>=0 { sc=sc+(w[4]*feature(fid,rem,s)) } 39 return sc 40} 41// pack with score = w0*rem + w1*(rem-s) + w2*s + w3 + w4*feature(fid). fid<0 => linear (no feature term). 42// A NEW bin (rem=CAP) is also a scored option -> the heuristic CAN open a fresh bin even when one fits (needed to 43// AVOID creating a dead gap).
