Defence Modernization: Procurement + Arctic Sovereignty

⚠ This is a flightplan, not a commitment. Flightplans are hypothetical policy proposals modelled in the Ducklings causal simulation. They become projects only when voted into adoption through Consensus. Metrics shown reflect simulation model outputs, not real-world outcomes.

Overview

Arctic sovereignty and defence forum topics actively discussed. NORAD modernization already proposed but CAF procurement backlog and defence industrial benefits remain unaddressed. Defence debates emphasized procurement reform and domestic industrial benefits. Chain: defence_spending -> defence_procurement_backlog (-0.10, d8), norad_modernization -> arctic_sovereignty_index (+0.15, d4).

Ducklings Simulation

This proposal is active in the Ducklings causal simulation (Epoch 71). The simulation models downstream effects using a BFS cascade engine with strength-weighted, time-delayed edges capped at 3-hop depth and ±25% per-hop limits. Cascade outputs are bounded by variable saturation thresholds.
