Rationale

Migrated from Ducklings Continuum (Epoch 95)

Domain: defence

Effects: 4 downstream variables affected

Immediate effects: 1

Divergence score: 0.25

Constitutional basis: Federal telecommunications power (s. 91(10)); national security; Crown corporation authority; PIPEDA / AIDA enforcement

Fiscal cost estimate: 3.5

Details

Epoch: 95

Domain: defence

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $3.50B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): +$21,475.65B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; diverges)

Top RIPPLE cost paths
  • +$14,825.25B → consumer_spending (Consumer Spending Growth) via innovation_index
  • +$4,178.02B → healthcare_spending (Healthcare Spending) via innovation_index
  • +$1,886.85B → education_spending (Education Spending) via innovation_index
  • +$569.31B → defense_spending (Defence Spending (DND)) via innovation_index

Causal effects: 4 downstream (1 immediate)

Divergence after: 0.250

Proposed policy move

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.
