You are looking at what this model believed on 2026-09-10, not at what it believes now. Belief had not been computed for this Question yet — so there are no shares to show, and that blank is the honest reading, not a missing page. The gap between when things happened and when we learned them is the fog of war — the two clocks.
The split — every branch
Under Structural there are no percentages at all: these are counts of how well tested each branch is, which is a different claim from how likely it is. Untested is not the same as refuted.
