The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

When trained in the USA and tested in Europe, FireScope achieves substantial performance gains, while expert feedback and automated analysis confirm that its reasoning traces are faithful and semantically meaningful.

C2weakest assumption

That expert-defined risk rasters in the US and real wildfire events in Europe constitute sufficiently aligned and representative supervision signals for the VLM to learn transferable causal reasoning across continents.

C3one line summary

FireScope is a VLM framework that generates wildfire risk rasters together with reasoning traces, showing improved cross-continental generalization when trained on US expert maps and tested on European fire events.
