Nothing on this page silently crosses from history into fiction. Source records are labeled as dataset claims. Ongoing claims are not settled history. The separate 2027–2036 register begins with FICTIONAL SCENARIO — NOT HISTORICAL, NOT A FORECAST; its probabilities are source-authored estimates that are not calibrated or additive, and its consequence paths are illustrative rather than predictive.

FICTIONAL WHAT-IF — NOT A FORECAST

Change one condition

This fixed, local-only exercise changes one broad condition. It does not model real actors, calculate probability, estimate casualties, or provide operational guidance.

Choose one fictional branch condition

FICTIONAL WHAT-IF — NOT A FORECAST

Earlier warning and public information

The alternate branch assumes warning reaches institutions and affected communities earlier. It asks how sequence, public information, rights protections, and response capacity might differ without claiming a likely outcome.

  • Which evidence would show that warning was understood rather than merely received?
  • Which communities would need accessible, multilingual, and locally trusted information?
  • What second-order harms could arise from false alarms, overreaction, or unequal protection?

ILLUSTRATIVE PROJECTION — NOT HISTORICAL, NOT A PREDICTION

Follow-on questions, not predicted outcomes

  • How might institutions document uncertainty, dissent, and correction?
  • What recovery, oversight, and remedy evidence would be needed later?
  • What would falsify the branch’s assumptions?
