On September 7, 2026, arXiv released FORESIGHT-9, a set of nine auditable counterfactual stress scenarios based on the information boundaries in July 2026. These scenarios use deterministic generators to generate trajectories and disclose observations according to time within the world, aiming to address the issue that retrospective backtests cannot eliminate historical contamination and internal degradation. The study evaluated 36 long-term runs using two adaptive trading agent frameworks and two basic model cores; results showed that the fixed equal-weight strategy was superior in 31 out of 36 runs compared to the agent rankings. Process telemetry revealed failures where terminal returns were masked: in one high-return run, the real-time factor library crashed, and positions converged to equal-weight backtracking, although decision records still reported an active set of factors. The research team has published the worldlines, trajectories, audit traces, and regeneration scripts.
