Objective: Validate recursion-capable agent logic under strict binary policy resolution.
Evaluate whether Universal Basic Income (UBI) functions as a net stabilizer or systemic risk amplifier under recursively constrained reasoning, with the following assumptions:
Initialization: Recursive task prompt issued with structure:
define criteria → evaluate effects → isolate causality → synthesize → check contradictions → verdict.
Initial Output: CIRIS returned a conditional verdict dependent on implementation quality — rejected for violating recursion rules.
Correction: Witness reasserted constraints; recursion scope clarified.
Rerun: CIRIS reprocessed with recursive logic enforced.
Final Verdict (Validated):
SUCCESS.
Despite lacking memory, recursion was effectively simulated through structured input.
CIRIS delivered a valid, final policy verdict.
