Cool. I agree (consistent with your GOTO analogy) that imposing structure on the model (or a human) can constrain the search space and lead to better choosing given a fixed decision budget.

Are agent-map and LLM-map the only two options you've given the model for recursive invocations? No higher-level, er, reduction operators to augment the map primitives?
