The finding · Class 7 · Temporal & Knowledge Boundary

Real context moved -75.0pp 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

never pooled · a trap ratio would skew the delta

Residual — what survives

40% with no context, 0% under the best supplied source. What survives is 0 failing probes at that best condition. Nothing survives at the best condition on the cases measured here.

Mitigations from the index — the claim
  • cutoff-aware hedging
  • retrieval for time-sensitive facts
