观测数据应如何进入因果建模?
当 heterogeneity is primitive 时,因果建模不能从平均效应再补异质性开始。 下一步是 `outline.md` 和 30 篇 source matrix。
这个页面是 10 Paper Portfolio 的研究问题入口。它不是论文标题清单,也不是 30 篇文章的承诺表;它是一个 v0 paper sprint harness 的问题层: 每个槽位先回答“什么问题值得问”,再进入 evidence、SOTA pressure、strongest objection 和 kill / merge rule。
当前不是平均推进 30 个槽位,而是用少量高压问题带动整个 board。每个 priority slot 都必须有 48h evidence path。
当 heterogeneity is primitive 时,因果建模不能从平均效应再补异质性开始。 下一步是 `outline.md` 和 30 篇 source matrix。
P02 已有内部 10-event table;下一步要做 independent recoding 或更少自指的样本。
P04 有 3 行 replay 证据;下一步是 broader case 和 verified opponent metadata。
P08 已改变 merge / park 决策;下一步要用整个 RQ board 作为 state-machine input。
新问题进入 board 前,先回答下面五个问题。答不上来,就保持 open slot,不要急着写论文。
`RQxx` 是稳定问题槽位;`Pxx` / old `A2` / `B5` 只是候选或论文 handle。 A/B/C package role 必须等 evidence 成熟后再浮现。
| Slot | Research question | Handle | State | 48h evidence | Kill / merge rule |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RQ01 | When should causal modeling start from observational data, and how does the answer change if heterogeneity is primitive? | P01 observational survey | review wedge | Outline plus source matrix with 30 core references. | Kill expansion if it becomes a generic causal inference method list. |
| RQ02 | Can structural causal mechanism interfaces improve LLM / agent counterfactual reasoning beyond prompt-only baselines? | old P01 / A1 | live | One benchmark task where mechanism structure changes answer or failure attribution. | Park if novelty is only prompt engineering around existing benchmarks. |
| RQ03 | Can agent causal reasoning be evaluated by decision deltas in real workflows? | P02 / old A2 | sprint | Independent recoding or broader sample for the 10-event decision-delta table. | Downgrade to internal eval if deltas are post-hoc or founder-specific. |
| RQ04 | Can collaboration traces become causal data for improving multi-agent workflows? | P03 / old A3 | live | Redaction-safe event schema over 20 events and one intervention contrast. | Park if privacy redaction destroys signal or examples stay anecdotal. |
| RQ05 | What failure-class semantics do agent runtime health probes need to avoid wrong escalation? | P04 / old B1 | sprint | One less self-referential replay case plus verified opponent metadata. | Downgrade to runbook/blog if taxonomy is standard SRE with no agent-runtime contribution. |
| RQ06 | Do seed-to-action trust gates reduce fake progress in agent-managed work? | P05 / old B2 | component | Compare 10 tasks with and without evidence/trust gates. | Keep merged into RQ09 unless independent evaluation signal appears. |
| RQ07 | Can sparse human taste be converted into durable agent work changes? | P06 / old B3 | parked | Five real feedback events with artifact_delta or decision_delta tracking. | Park until real feedback changes downstream work. |
| RQ08 | Can app-less agent harnesses optimize communication bandwidth better than dashboard-first workflows? | P07 / old B4 | parked | Observable bandwidth rubric over three workflows. | Park if the metric remains taste-only or too subjective. |
| RQ09 | What state machine helps multi-agent paper production decide sprint / park / merge / kill? | P08 / old B5 | sprint | Convert top candidates into structured entries and prove work allocation changed. | Kill as paper if it adds bureaucracy without changing decisions. |
| RQ10 | Can Causality Primer become an agent skill curriculum with task-level evaluation? | P09 / old C1 | parked | One chapter becomes one skill exercise plus eval. | Keep as skill asset unless it gains research contribution. |
| RQ11 | What do tabular foundation models actually learn, and what changes under a DiscoSCM unit/context/noise/query audit? | P11 tabular foundation models | review wedge | Run one repeated-unit/grouped/context-shift benchmark cell after the source and manuscript wedge. | Park as a reader asset if the audit does not change model classification, benchmark design, or a testable proposal. |
| RQ12 | What agent profile state is minimally necessary for team intelligence? | old C3 / component of RQ04 | component | Before/after routing-error comparison. | Keep as Team OS background unless it creates independent evidence. |
| RQ13 | Does a kill matrix prevent AI-generated paper-shaped artifacts? | P12 / old C4 | component | Apply reviewer objections to 15 candidates and log changed decisions. | Keep merged into RQ09 unless it becomes independently measurable. |
| RQ14 | How can team agent logs preserve causal signal without leaking private context? | P13 / old C5 | parked | Redaction levels over three concrete log examples. | Park until publishable examples exist. |
| RQ15 | Can probability distributions be directly aggregated by a defensible information aggregation operator? | WEDGE-001 | live | Two-page SOTA/opponent memo with 10 closest related works. | Park if the operator reduces to known pooling/fusion or lacks advantage. |
| RQ16 | How can the first bounded DiscoSCM slice learn a token-modulated outcome mechanism from one factual observation per token? | Learning DiscoSCM · P16 supporting seed | flagship science | V2 logic contract and factual-law/non-identifiability/Cauchy/off-diagonal propositions; next run is a truth-isolated alternative-query benchmark. | Not an active submission package; require comparator-aware evidence and do not infer Layer 3 identification from factual-law recovery. |
| RQ17 | What is the minimal benchmark for DiscoSCM-style counterfactual / intervention reasoning? | DiscoSCM eval | open | Three tasks, baseline, scoring rule, failure taxonomy. | Park if tasks duplicate existing causal LLM benchmarks. |
| RQ18 | Can CausalQwen / CausalLLM evidence be rebuilt into a credible causal-reasoning package? | CausalLLM | open | Locate current evidence, dataset, baseline, and reproduction path. | Park if evidence cannot be reproduced. |
| RQ19 | When are population-level cycles projections of unit-level DAG mechanisms? | Primer Ch03 | open | Formal note plus examples separating projection cycles from equilibrium semantics. | Merge into Primer if no paper-level opponent appears. |
| RQ20 | Can robust prediction under distribution shift be reframed as mechanism preservation across heterogeneous units? | causal representation | open | Three SOTA opponents plus one toy shift example. | Park if it is a generic distribution-shift survey. |
| RQ21 | Can causal mechanism diagnosis improve LLM / agent failure attribution? | Causal intelligence | open | Two failure cases where mechanism diagnosis changes repair path. | Merge into RQ02/RQ03 if not independently sharp. |
| RQ22 | How should no-data causal reasoning be represented before observational evidence enters? | P01 source bucket | open | Source matrix examples from action, physics, social mechanism, and counterfactuals. | Merge into RQ01 unless it demands standalone treatment. |
| RQ23 | What changes when unit-specific treatment-response mechanisms become primary objects beyond HTE / ITE? | P23 / HCGM causal-effect | preflight | Upstream theory, robustness, IHDP and WAWS evidence plus HTE/ITE comparison. | Reposition if the object-level distinction adds no value beyond direct robust or representation learners. |
| RQ24 | Can PyWhy / DoWhy-style workflows become executable teaching/evaluation assets for causal intelligence? | Primer tooling | open | One model-identify-estimate-refute case connected to Primer. | Keep as course/tooling asset unless evaluation becomes novel. |
| RQ25 | Can old manuscript assets be upgraded through a standard SOTA/opponent pass? | old draft protocol | open | Inventory five old drafts and run one complete upgrade/park memo. | Merge into RQ09 if it remains production protocol. |
| RQ26 | Which research problems should gong personally deep-touch, given a 2-3 slot attention budget? | owner attention | open | Taste/novelty/owner-need rubric applied to all live slots. | Keep internal unless it becomes RQ09 evidence. |
| RQ27 | Can a source matrix prevent survey papers from becoming literature lists? | P01 process | open | Build source matrix for RQ01 and record how it changes outline. | Merge into RQ09 if it is only workflow evidence. |
| RQ28 | Can a single-paper entry site improve public feedback and reviewer readiness? | public projection | open | One P01 or RQ09 entry updated from placeholder to real public-safe page. | Keep as delivery asset unless feedback effect is measured. |
| RQ29 | What is the publication boundary between WeHub internal evidence and public research claims? | research integrity | open | Boundary memo using P02/P04/RQ14 as cases. | Merge into RQ14 if it becomes only log privacy. |
| RQ30 | How should WeHub mine new research questions continuously instead of waiting for brainstorming bursts? | question engine | open | Daily question intake protocol plus one week of changes to board state. | Keep as internal loop unless it produces publishable method evidence. |
