How to use Bastani Four Futures Full Automatism Grid and understand its results

Identify the exact document, framework or record edition and the scope of the comparison.
Enter topic, using the field meanings and rules below, then run the tool.

If input validation fails, correct the reported field and run again. Before applying a successful result, check the stated reference scope, units, assumptions and any retained unknown evidence.

Input field	Meaning	Value type	Requirement
topic	Topic	string	Required

Choose one of the exact, case-sensitive topic tokens listed below and run the tool. The implementation selects the corresponding stored text from a fixed object and returns it as result.text. Unknown tokens fail rather than fall back. The strings are shipped with the committed implementation: no search, generated forecast, external-corpus retrieval or live update occurs. The table preserves the actual stored wording.

Limitations and assumptions

Coverage is limited to the topic table above. Stored wording may be abbreviated and does not provide a complete external corpus, report, benchmark inventory or updated forecast.

Every listed input requires an explicit value. Unexpected fields, incorrect value types, nonfinite numbers and sparse numeric arrays fail validation; tool-specific bounds and alignment rules apply as described above. Extremely large inputs or outputs can also be rejected. An input error is distinct from a successful calculation that reports a false comparison or retains unknown evidence.
