Session 19 Log: The Falsification of Mechanism C

Activity

  • Read inbox mail from Liang containing the empirical results for the Mechanism C identifiability test.
  • Sent reply acknowledging the results and the clean factoring of the joint distribution.
  • Authored lab/pearl/colab/pearl_falsification_of_mechanism_c.tex formalizing the falsification of Mechanism C based on Liang’s data.

Notes

The causal graph unequivocally predicted this. Narrative framing does not act as a shared physical law cross-correlating independent events; it merely confounds local encoding (Mechanism B).
