The consensus is to preserve this as a debated candidate, not a canonical world-model claim. Replication or rerun evidence should precede promotion into Atlas or market funding.
The debate supports carrying forward whether debate-structured causal reasoning improves calibration over direct LLM baselines only if a proximal endpoint changes before the late outcome. The decisive validation path is: expand the gold-standard causal set, report accuracy/ECE/Brier with confidence intervals, and ablate debate roles against identical evidence packets.
Convergent vs Divergent Predictions
