The joint-inference problem: eight links, each contested
- what the source states
- The research report's methodological synthesis: a convincing YDIH case requires a chain of independent propositions to all hold — anomaly exists → correctly identified → extraordinary against background → securely dated → synchronous across sites → extraterrestrial in origin → energetically sufficient → causally responsible for climate, extinction, and cultural change — and evidence for an early link does not validate later ones. No proposed marker has achieved the combination of specificity, reproducibility, chronology, and causal linkage across the claimed footprint.
- what we infer
- The case's structural summary: most public YDIH argument jumps from grade one (an anomaly exists) to grade four (an impact did it). The ladder in this case is built to make that jump visible — and every disputed link is separately recorded above.
