Proposal
Canadian Sovereign Trades Immigration Pipeline
Rationale
Migrated from Ducklings Continuum (Epoch 100)
Domain: immigration
Effects: 4 downstream variables affected
Immediate effects: 2
Divergence score: 0.18
Constitutional basis: Federal immigration and naturalization (s. 91(25)); employment insurance (s. 91(2A)); cooperative federalism with provincial apprenticeship bodies
Fiscal cost estimate: 0.68
Details
Epoch: 100
Domain: immigration
Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $0.68B CAD
Structural estimate (RIPPLE): +$7.93B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; diverges)
Top RIPPLE cost paths
- +$6.19B →
consumer_spending(Consumer Spending Growth) viahousing_starts - +$1.74B →
healthcare_spending(Healthcare Spending) viahousing_starts
Causal effects: 4 downstream (2 immediate)
Divergence after: 0.180

Proposed policy move
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.
