Cross-source hypothesis
Smoke Has a Memory
When do several public observations align around a possible smoke episode?
Place satellite fire detections, wind, official air measurements, and nearby biodiversity observations on one timestamped evidence chain.
01
Why this pairing matters
The non-obvious connection
Each source sees a different part of an environmental event. Temporal alignment is useful evidence, but it is not causality.
02
The demonstration
One visible reveal
Scrub a time window: a fire detection, wind direction, and station measurement either align or visibly fail to align.
03
Three-hour boundary
The smallest credible version
One curated historical or current episode, one station, wind observations, and evidence cards ordered by timestamp.
04
Claim boundary
What the data cannot establish
Spatial or temporal proximity cannot prove that a specific fire caused an air reading or ecological effect.
