Config Map
Config families are organized by use-case, not by entrypoint. The filenames below are the canonical inputs used by the CLI, Studio resources, and smoke scripts.
Families
| Folder | Purpose | Typical files |
|---|---|---|
base/ | Base runtime configs and smoke baselines. | paper_base_1c_128.json, paper_base_2c_128.json, paper_search_random.json |
search/ | Search definitions, filters, and run schedules. | search_smoke.json, search_motion.json, search_corpus_v1_core_neutral.json |
presets/ | Ready-to-run simulation presets exposed in Studio and paper-grounded lanes. | orbium_like_classic_1c_128.json, flow_motile_2c_128.json, crossmap_1c_128.json |
sweeps/ | Sweep manifests that expand into many jobs. | discovery_sweeps.json, glider_sweeps.json, mover_sweeps.json |
campaigns/ | Campaign templates for orchestrated runs. | exploration.json, full-discovery.json, intervention-battery.json |
es/ | Evolution-strategy configs. | es_directed_motion.json, es_directed_compact.json |
imgep/ | IMGEP-specific configs and corpus variants. | imgep_motile.json, imgep_complexity.json, imgep_corpus_v1_dense.json |
Shortcuts
- Start from
base/paper_base_1c_128.jsonandsearch/search_smoke.jsonfor deterministic smoke runs. - Use
presets/when you want a named starting point that the Studio can load directly. - Use
sweeps/andcampaigns/when you want the CLI to fan out work rather than hand-curate individual runs. - Use
es/andimgep/for discovery protocols that layer optimization on top of a base config.
Notes
- The CLI and Studio both treat these folders as the source of truth for run inputs.
- Paper-grounded modes are documented in ResearchModes; this map covers the reusable config families they consume.
