For each observation, build a chain of 5 &ldquo;what if&rdquo; steps toward an implication, then check whether independent chains converge or diverge.https://zeitgeist-zk4.pages.dev/signals/causal-chains/Fri, 26 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://zeitgeist-zk4.pages.dev/signals/causal-chains/Cross-journal causal relationships — where a development tracked in one topic journal is the direct or structural cause of an observation in another. Symptom-catalogue collects observations; five-what-ifs hypothesises forward; causal-chains looks backward to identify what is <em>causing</em> what we observe across the topic system.https://zeitgeist-zk4.pages.dev/signals/symptom-catalogue/Fri, 26 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://zeitgeist-zk4.pages.dev/signals/symptom-catalogue/Concrete instances of disruption, surprise, or anomaly extracted from topic journals — collected without explanation. Periodic synthesis passes ask: what structural hypothesis would connect these?
