Hi everyone!
I'm working on an AI research project that experiments with *algorithm synthesis*—trying to discover or combine solution strategies automatically rather than manually designing them.
As one experiment, the system generated a proposed Rubik's Cube solving method called
DR-OPT (Diminishing Returns Optimal).
Since I'm
not actually a speedcuber, I can't confidently judge whether the synthesis is genuinely novel, practical, or simply rediscovering existing ideas.
I'd really appreciate feedback from experienced cubers.
Specifically:
• Does this resemble an existing method?
• Are there incorrect assumptions or impossible claims?
• Does the overall reasoning make sense?
• If you were to critique it, what would you immediately question?

I'm more interested in understanding
whether the synthesis process produced something meaningful than proving that it's the "best" method.
Any criticism is welcome.
