ASCEND Long-Horizon Planning¶
ASCEND handles planning across temporal scales: days, months, years, and decades.
Planner Capabilities¶
- Objectives & Constraints
- Milestones & Dependencies
- Resource budgets
- Risk & Uncertainty quantification
- Alternative strategies
- Replanning & Failure recovery
- Progress measurement
Example Objective¶
"Reduce water stress by 30% within 10 years." 1. 10-year objective 2. 5-year objectives 3. 3-year objectives 4. Annual milestones 5. Quarterly actions 6. Measurable outcomes
When reality differs from predictions:
OBSERVE → MEASURE ERROR → UPDATE MODEL → REPLAN
Note: Generating a long text plan is not long-horizon planning. ASCEND must track actual outcomes and correct course.
