Rationale

Migrated from Ducklings Continuum (Epoch 11)

Domain: demographics

Effects: 4 downstream variables affected

Immediate effects: 1

Divergence score: 57.9717

Constitutional basis: Federal immigration (s.91(25)), demographic reality

Details

Epoch: 11

Domain: demographics

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $0.48B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): +$0.48B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; agrees)

Top RIPPLE cost paths
  • +$0.40B → canada_health_transfer (Canada Health Transfer (CHT)) via total_population
  • +$0.08B → canada_social_transfer (Canada Social Transfer (CST)) via total_population

Causal effects: 4 downstream (1 immediate)

Divergence after: 57.972

Variable changes

  • total_population: {"new": 42.5, "old": 41.5}

Proposed policy move

Targets total_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.
