| What it does | Evolutionary explanation-discovery engine for hard-to-vary causal theories of unknown phenomena. USE WHEN develop a new theory, explain a mystery, solve an explanatory gap, discover a mechanism, consciousness, origin, or scientific breakthrough. Also use for multi-cycle creative exploration. NOT FOR a single-pass divergent brainstorm (use BeCreative) or delivery validation alone (use Evals). | Tunes the CARLA Traffic Manager that drives autopilot vehicles — global and per-vehicle speed, following distance, running lights/signs, lane-change behaviour, lane offset, TM-managed lights, deterministic seed, hybrid physics, and TM sync mode. Use when the user asks to "make the traffic faster/slower", "let cars run red lights", "keep more distance", "stop lane changes", "make traffic deterministic", or otherwise change how autopilot cars behave. For manually driving one car, use control-vehicle. |
