Guide a successor with committed-prefix targets

The controller commits a prefix during asynchronous successor generation. Generation uses approximate prefix and overlap guidance for joint updates of all successor positions. New-future positions have no weight from current-chunk targets.

Guide a successor with committed-prefix targetsThe eight teaching positions have three committed-prefix targets at weight one. Two overlap targets have decreasing guidance, and three new-future positions have weight zero. Generation updates all successor positions jointly during controller execution. The clipped guidance is approximate, not a hard overwrite. The diagram does not give a measured delay.

During control execution, RTC guides successor generation toward prefix commands that will already be committed. Guidance decreases in the overlap, and new-future actions have no constraint from the current chunk. This is an approximate guided constraint, not a hard prefix overwrite. The eight positions and arrival are illustrative. The author made this explanatory diagram. The playback is an example, and animation time is not measured runtime. Open full-size SVG
