Pipeline Results by Dataset
Each dataset processed through the LSDP pipelineLayered Signal Decomposition Protocol — 7 layers that strip social contagion, observer bias, population effects, media influence, and instrument artifacts.. Sorted by branching ratioHow much events trigger other events. Higher = more contagion. (most contagion first).
Near-total social contagion — only 25 independent reports
Two populations: independent observers describe different objects
Two eras — early media contagion, late genuinely independent
1996 type expansion inflates measured self-excitation
Submission timing is media-driven, not the experiences
VALIDATION PASSED — matches published ETAS aftershock models
Monitoring expansion inflated ratio 8x
Categorical data — classification reveals investigator bias
NEGATIVE CONTROL PASSED — near-zero after era correction
SECOND NEGATIVE CONTROL PASSED — genuinely random
Agent Investigation Findings
Findings from 21 autonomous research agents, audited by the Skeptic agent and approved by human review. Null and negative results are included because honest reporting matters more than positive spin.
