The ladder

Eight tutorials, in strictly increasing scale — from running one command to conducting a full multi-family experiment, and then to two external simulators. Each rung assumes the ones below it, states what you will write and what you will get, and shows the real output of everything it runs: every table on these pages was produced by executing the page, not typed.

Rung Tutorial You write You get
L0 Five minutes one command a complete continual-learning run, read line by line
L1 A first run in code ~20 lines the same machinery under your control — and a deliberately disappointing table
L2 Your own environment one small file a world that genuinely shifts, and metrics with something to measure
L3 Instrumenting to Tier 2 a component + a wrapper composed rewards, per-component traces, a derived ceiling, a conformance pass
L4 Comparing algorithms one sweep document the cross-family table: families × seeds, mean ± spread
L5 A full experiment a question and a matrix an answer with discipline — plus a reproduced run, an exported policy, and a served one
L6 Train on a MORPHEUS world a config every layer at once against a live persistent world
L7 Run DiscoveryWorld an adapter a third-party research simulator through the same machinery

Where to enter. Never used the package: L0. Evaluating whether it fits your work: L0–L2 in an hour. You have an environment and a research question: climb to L5 — it is the page the ladder exists for. You operate a MORPHEUS deployment: L6 directly, after L0.

Everything the tutorials rely on is defined in Background and the concepts chapters; every number's meaning is in The metrics.
