| Abstract | Artificial intelligence agents are increasingly expected to operate for long periods, use external tools, adapt to changing environments and recover from failures without continuous human supervision. Current work, however, is divided between self evolving agents that improve through memory, reflection, continual learning, reinforcement learning or evolutionary search, and self healing systems that monitor, diagnose, contain, repair and verify operational faults. This paper integrates these traditions into a unified Self Evolving and Self Healing Agent framework. A four axis taxonomy is introduced across the object of change, timescale of adaptation, recovery boundary and assurance mechanism. A dual loop architecture is then proposed in which a fast runtime healing loop handles detection, diagnosis, containment, repair and verification, while a slower evidence gated evolution loop updates durable artifacts such as structured memory, prompts, workflows, tool skills, code patches and model adapters. Formal objectives are specified for utility, risk, recovery cost, retention and transfer, and a selective persistence rule is defined to prevent emergency behavior from becoming an unsafe permanent update. A multi domain, fault injected evaluation protocol is presented with baselines, ablations, benchmarks and metrics for task success, adaptation gain, retention, transfer, detection delay, time to recovery, degradation area, false recovery and safety violations. The analysis shows that self evolution and self healing should be evaluated as complementary capabilities under runtime assurance, auditability, interruptibility and staged governance. The paper is a conceptual and methodological contribution; it does not claim new benchmark results for the proposed architecture. |
