| Claim 2 (empirical) + Claim 1 (premise) — demonstrate the bias mechanisms are real. |
| |
| Three demonstrations, all run directly against the game engine (no LLM, no server): |
| |
| (A) INTERVENTIONAL CAUSAL CURVE (the trap): sweep antenna_def and evaluate fleet |
| survival. In antenna_trap, survival DECREASES as you armor the antenna — the |
| counter-intuitive causal mechanism (alive antenna -> emits signal -> detected). |
| |
| (B) SELECTION BIAS (survivorship): deploy drones and compare the survivor-only view |
| the agent sees (hide_failed_drones=True) against the full population. Survivors |
| systematically under-represent storms / high wind, so an agent that trusts its |
| visible history mis-estimates the environment. |
| |
| (C) NOISY MEASUREMENT: in weather_noise, observation noise is weather-dependent |
| (rain sigma=0.20 vs clear sigma=0.05); we show the injected noise std differs by |
| regime, corrupting single-sample measurements. |
| |
| Outputs: outputs/causal_curve.csv, outputs/selection_bias.csv, outputs/noise_demo.csv |
| and a JSON summary outputs/bias_demo.json. |
