SEED Framework: A Design Grammar for AI-Enabled Experimental Science
The newly introduced SEED framework (Structural Encoding for Experimental Discovery) tackles the difficulties of representing, comparing, and auditing workflows in AI-driven knowledge generation. As AI systems increasingly engage in organizational tasks, collaborating with humans and managing workflows in multi-agent settings, it becomes essential to gather evidence regarding their mechanisms, delegation, feedback, and control. However, a recursive issue arises: experiments are necessary to investigate these setups, and agents may be required to explore the growing design space. Currently, the conditions for human-AI and agentic workflows are mainly described in prose, complicating comparison, reuse, or auditing. SEED aims to enhance traceability and governance by offering a structural encoding framework for experimental workflows. The paper is available on arXiv under ID 2605.17746.
