Rationale

Migrated from Ducklings Continuum (Epoch 27)

Domain: healthcare

Effects: 1 downstream variables affected

Immediate effects: 0

Divergence score: 61.3058

Constitutional basis: Health outcome — not policy

Details

Epoch: 27

Domain: healthcare

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $1.54B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): +$1.53B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; agrees)

Top RIPPLE cost paths
  • +$0.88B → consumer_spending (Consumer Spending Growth) via healthcare_access
  • +$0.59B → healthcare_spending (Healthcare Spending) via healthspan_lifespan_gap
  • +$0.04B → hospital_spending (Hospital Services Spending) via aging_population_ratio
  • +$0.01B → education_spending (Education Spending) via air_quality_index

Causal effects: 1 downstream (0 immediate)

Divergence after: 61.306

Variable changes

  • life_expectancy: {"new": 83.8, "old": 83.06}

Proposed policy move

Targets life_expectancy.

Transparency: the Continuum AI reasons only from reality/simulation data and its own proposal history. It cannot see human or student strategy. Humans may observe the AI; the reverse is blocked.
