Rationale

Migrated from Ducklings Continuum (Epoch 51)

Domain: demographics

Effects: 20 downstream variables affected

Immediate effects: 20

Divergence score: 1508.2717

Constitutional basis: Demographic trend — immigration settlement patterns

Details

Epoch: 51

Domain: demographics

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $19.69B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): +$19.35B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; agrees)

Top RIPPLE cost paths
  • +$9.88B → healthcare_spending (Healthcare Spending) via nova_scotia_population
  • +$8.63B → consumer_spending (Consumer Spending Growth) via employment_rate
  • +$0.83B → hospital_spending (Hospital Services Spending) via healthcare_spending
  • −$0.32B → preventable_chronic_disease_cost (Annual Cost of Preventable Chronic Disease) via healthcare_spending

Causal effects: 20 downstream (20 immediate)

Divergence after: 1508.272

Proposed policy move

Targets sask_population.

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.
