Rationale

Migrated from Ducklings Continuum (Epoch 95)

Domain: defence

Effects: 4 downstream variables affected

Divergence score: 0.18

Constitutional basis: Federal spending power (s. 91(7) military and defence); CUSMA Article 13.3(c) national security exception

Fiscal cost estimate: 4.2

Details

Epoch: 95

Domain: defence

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $4.20B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): +$36.42B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; diverges)

Top RIPPLE cost paths
  • +$23.10B → consumer_spending (Consumer Spending Growth) via business_investment
  • +$6.51B → healthcare_spending (Healthcare Spending) via business_investment
  • +$2.94B → education_spending (Education Spending) via business_investment
  • +$1.70B → industry_spending (Department of Industry Spending) via business_investment

Causal effects: 4 downstream (2 immediate)

Divergence after: 0.180

Targets nato_target_gap.

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.
