The Fetch Framework builds on established theories in:

  • Control engineering (PID controllers)
  • Cybernetics (feedback loops)
  • Reinforcement learning (value functions)
  • Cognitive psychology (dual-process theory)
  • Systems thinking (OODA loop)

Open Questions ​

Research areas for exploration:

  1. Quantifying semantic richness - Can we measure a website's "automation-friendliness"?
  2. Optimal threshold tuning - How do Fetch thresholds vary by domain?
  3. Multi-agent Fetch - How do multiple agents coordinate using Fetch?
  4. Fetch in continuous spaces - Extending from discrete actions to continuous control
  5. Learning Fetch parameters - Can dimension weights be learned from data?
