Empirical Validation with Learned or Implicit Belief States
Validate the Triadic Cognitive Architecture empirically in agents whose belief states are learned or implicit and must be approximated from model outputs or sampled posteriors.

Section 4.2 outlines one possible bridge, but empirical validation on such systems remains future work.

The model of \S\ref{sec:dispersed} makes a claim about that distribution that the transcripts could check: about a fifth of the population believed provenance would be checked with near certainty, about a tenth to a fifth did not believe it at all, and the rest were spread between. The transcripts are the place to test it, and we do not have them: the only per-agent data published with the review is the timeline, which records times and not beliefs.
