q1 i? Landing on a downward-sloping ramp cell triggers an automatic move-diagonal-down, and landing on an ascending ramp cell triggers an automatic move-diagonal-up. → Abhishek Jaiswal 2026

q1 · i? · design · r1

Descriptive walkthrough in Section 6 of the agent's traversal in the Figure 1 example challenge: two move-right actions from the Knight's initial position lead onto ramp cells that trigger automatic diagonal moves, and the agent reaches the Princess. This is a worked example of the model's transition rules, not an empirical measurement.

"It lands on a cell above the downward ramp, which automatically triggers amove-diagonal-downaction. Subsequently, it lands on an upward ramp, triggering amove-diagonal-upaction and enabling the agent to successfully reach the Princess."
