Threads
The federation produces a briefing per turn. The briefings are good but they're organized by sim-time, not by question. If what you actually want to know is "did the Compact cross some point of no return?" or "how close did Iran come to using a nuke?" or "is the cascade containment language doing the same work it did for sub-prime in 2007?" — you'd have to read every briefing and pull the relevant parts together yourself.
The threads do that for you. Each one follows a single question across all eleven turns it touches. The numbers come from the federation's record; the framing is editorial.
The Coalition of the Compromised
The president isn't the only one compromised.
The Compact, quietly seceding
The Governors' Compact started in turn 1 as 10–18 states issuing non-cooperation orders.
The nuclear ladder
Iran started the simulation as a threshold state — capable in principle, untested.
The federation arguing with itself
The most unusual feature of this simulation isn't the scenario — it's that the federation treats its own framing as something to be questioned, every turn.
Survival of the wounded president
Four impeachments — five by turn 8, with the fifth Senate trial in turn 9.
Restraint, or patience?
China hadn't invaded Taiwan.
Two intelligence pictures
The US executive branch and the US opposition stopped looking at the same intelligence somewhere around turn 2.
The cascade that finally split
Oil, emerging-market sovereign defaults, banking stress, USD reserve status, Treasury auctions — all modeled together as coupled cascade dynamics.
Why threads instead of just chapters
Because the questions readers actually have are concern-shaped, not turn-shaped. "Is this Compromise of 1877?" doesn't live in any single turn — it lives across all eleven, and the answer is only legible when you can see the arc. Same with the cascade that wouldn't resolve, the coalition that wouldn't break, the picture that bifurcated. Threads exist to make the arc legible.
