Finite hidden-confounding audit

Exact finite causal diagnostics and references; technical report.

See the handoff for reports and source evidence; this entry is not an independent paper.

Why we tried it

When behavior uses hidden state, logged prediction and marginal action coverage need not identify interventions.

What the evidence shows

Exact finite-model calculations retain observationally equivalent, causally different alternatives and fixed/adaptive query references.

Where the work stands

The result concerns a specified resettable finite family, not general impossibility or neural causal capability.

Possible next steps

Disclose collector information, logs and conditional assignment assumptions and challenge identification with causally different observational alternatives.

Suggested next steps are untested research questions, not new experimental results. The archive records manuscript provenance, licensing and status.
