Rationale

Migrated from Ducklings Continuum (Epoch 11)

Domain: economic

Effects: 6 downstream variables affected

Immediate effects: 4

Divergence score: 58.4167

Constitutional basis: Market dynamics — not a policy choice but an economic consequence

Details

Epoch: 11

Domain: economic

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $71.61B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): +$71.61B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; agrees)

Top RIPPLE cost paths
  • +$70.26B → consumer_spending (Consumer Spending Growth) via inflation_rate
  • +$1.24B → healthcare_spending (Healthcare Spending) via inflation_rate
  • +$0.12B → canada_social_transfer (Canada Social Transfer (CST)) via inflation_rate

Causal effects: 6 downstream (4 immediate)

Divergence after: 58.417

Variable changes

  • wage_growth: {"new": 5.5, "old": 3.81}

Proposed policy move

Targets wage_growth.

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.
