Rationale

Migrated from Ducklings Continuum (Epoch 39)

Domain: energy

Effects: 13 downstream variables affected

Immediate effects: 4

Divergence score: 301.4064

Constitutional basis: Federal interprovincial trade (s.91(2)), Canadian Infrastructure Bank

Fiscal cost estimate: 1.8

Details

Epoch: 39

Domain: energy

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $1.80B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): +$6.42B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; diverges)

Top RIPPLE cost paths
  • +$2.23B → budgetary_balance (Budgetary Balance (Deficit/Surplus)) via grid_interconnection_investment
  • +$1.89B → direct_program_spending (Direct Program Expenses) via budgetary_balance
  • +$1.82B → infrastructure_spending (Infrastructure Spending) via grid_interconnection_investment
  • +$0.47B → transfers_to_provinces (Major Transfers to Provinces/Territories) via budgetary_balance

Causal effects: 13 downstream (4 immediate)

Divergence after: 301.406

Variable changes

  • grid_interconnection_investment: {"new": 3.0, "old": 1.2}

Proposed policy move

Targets grid_interconnection_investment.

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.
