+
+# ARC background
+ARC-AGI consists of unique training and evaluation tasks.
+Each task contains input-output examples.
+The puzzle-like inputs and outputs present a grid where each cell is a value of
+the integers 0-9.
+A grid can be any height or width between 1 x 1 and 30 x 30.
+Grid cells represent colors using this mapping:
+
+```
+COLOR_MAP = {
+    0: (238, 238, 238),  # white
+    1: (30, 147, 255),  # blue

+
+  - document your initial observations and impressions

+
+
+## Test Phase

+# Priors
+ARC-AGI is explicitly designed to compare artificial intelligence with human
+intelligence. To do this, ARC-AGI explicitly lists the priors knowledge human
+have to provide a fair ground for comparing AI systems. These core knowledge
+priors are ones that humans naturally possess, even in childhood.
+
+- Objectness
+  Objects persist and cannot appear or disappear without reason.
+  Objects can interact or not depending on the circumstances.
+- Goal-directedness
+  Objects can be animate or inanimate.
+  Some objects are "agents" - they have intentions and they pursue goals.
+- Numbers & counting
+  Objects can be counted or sorted by their shape, appearance, or movement using
+  basic mathematics like addition, subtraction, and comparison.
+- Basic geometry & topology
+  Objects can be shapes like rectangles, triangles, and circles which can be
+  mirrored, rotated, translated, deformed, combined, repeated, etc.  Differences
+  in distances can be detected.
+  Adjacency is very important - side by side and diagonal
+
+ARC-AGI avoids a reliance on any information that isn't part of these priors,
+for example acquired or cultural knowledge, like language.
