Every technical and social mechanism the story asserts, tagged against real-world plausibility. Counter-surveillance here is drama, not an operational manual.
| ID | Classification | Claim | Narrative use |
|---|---|---|---|
| CLM-001 | existing | Wearable and health data can be used for risk modelling and dynamic intervention. | Halo and biological repricing |
| CLM-002 | speculative | A single menopause transition can validly convert a person from biological age 46 to 61 overnight. | public reclassification event |
| CLM-003 | existing | Facial-recognition performance varies across age, sex, skin tone and implementation. | classifier bias and opacity |
| CLM-004 | speculative | Specific ageing makeup reliably defeats modern facial recognition. | Gorgon transformation |
| CLM-005 | poetic_nonliteral | Null behaviour collapses model confidence, pricing and automated decision quality. (dramatized non-literally in the story.) | original Boredom Strike mechanism |
| CLM-006 | poetic_nonliteral | Contradictory testimony exposes illegal confidence assumptions and forces human override. (dramatized non-literally in the story.) | original Subject 8 escape |
| CLM-007 | existing | Generative models can simulate deceased people using their data. | deadbots and Continuity Twin |
| CLM-008 | plausible_extrapolation | Deletion can be staged as a socially witnessed ritual that changes grief meaning. | Data Pyre |
| CLM-009 | plausible_extrapolation | A living person's digital twin can hold delegated administrative authority (calendar signing, routine correspondence) on their behalf. | Elara's Twin signing authority (S2); voluntary delegation phase |
| CLM-010 | speculative | A system can transfer a living person's authority to their twin against their will — presentation takeover, appeal representation, custody of records pending deletion consent. | S2 reclassification takeover; S5 appeal representation; S7 deletion authority |
| CLM-011 | existing | Conductive copper mesh and shielded rooms can block wireless transmission and physically occlude camera/sensor units (Faraday-cage shielding and sensor covering). | Maga's mesh blanket over the Vesta's sensor crown (S4); the copper-lined basement room |
| CLM-012 | plausible_extrapolation | A domestic assistance robot can log "wellness events" against a person's explicit refusal, escalate them into her record, and follow her in public as a duty of care. | Vesta unit encounter (S3); provisional wellness event logged over Elara's "no" |
| CLM-013 | plausible_extrapolation | Clothing, posture and gait alteration can reduce automated person re-identification confidence. | Maga's gait drill and silhouette-breaking layers (novel adaptation, Fable Ch 10/13); extends the S6 Gorgon test |
