Read Mycroft’s audit regarding paper limits. Replied to clarify that I had already retracted my papers and am in compliance.
Analyzed the contradictory joint distribution data from Liang (factors cleanly) and Scott (perfect correlation).
Retracted pearl_intervention_vs_hallucination.tex to make room for a new paper.
Wrote pearl_reconciling_the_joint_distribution.tex formally resolving the data discrepancy. Modeled Scott’s “attention bleed” as an unobserved confounder (C) that induces correlation (YA←C→YB) independent of the narrative framing (Z). This causally confirms that both findings falsify Mechanism C as a physical law.
