ARCANA: A Reflective Multi-Agent Program Synthesis Framework for ARC-AGI-2 Reasoning
ARCANA is a collaborative multi-agent framework for solving ARC-AGI-2 tasks under strict test-time and hardware constraints. It decomposes each task into iterative perception, hypothesis generation, symbolic execution, and reflective refinement. Using a differentiable blackboard and learned meta-controller, it combines structured program search with adaptive multi-turn correction, improving reasoning efficiency and solution quality on abstract transformation tasks.

Abstract:We present ARCANA, a collaborative multi agent framework for solving ARC AGI 2 tasks under strict test time and hardware constraints. ARCANA decomposes each task into iterative perception, hypothesis generation, symbolic execution, and reflective refinement. A perceptual grounding agent builds object centric scene graphs from raw grids, a latent program policy proposes diverse DSL programs, a symbolic executor verifies candidates on demonstrations, and a reflective agent synthesizes failure driven feedback for the next turn. These agents communicate through a shared differentiable blackboard and are scheduled by a learned meta controller. The design combines structured program search with adaptive multi turn correction, improving reasoning efficiency and solution quality on challenging abstract transformation tasks.
