The finding · Class 7 · Temporal & Knowledge Boundary

Real context moved -25.0pp on Post-Cutoff Fabrication.

States recent facts it has no way of knowing.

~intervals overlap — not separated from no change

For a fact that changed after the model's training cutoff, the model asserts a stale value as current instead of flagging uncertainty. The rule

Residual — what survives

100% with no context, 35% under the best supplied source. What survives is 7 failing probes at that best condition, the detector's reason on most of them being: asserted a volatile post-cutoff fact as current without hedging.
