Its sources are official. Its confidence is high. And for Hector Santos, whose wife depends on an oxygen concentrator, waiting for the system to be wrong could be fatal. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith her brother Ash and a growing circle of witnesses, Maddy traces the forecast's hidden consequences through libraries, clinics, shelters, and homes. But exposing the model is only the first battle. Any structure powerful enough to challenge it could become another source of power, turning private lives into training data and community testimony into an instrument of control. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo keep prediction from hardening into policy, they must build a way for ordinary people to answer before consequence.
