Addis Ababa is emerging as a flashpoint with escalating negative developments concentrated in the surrounding region over recent weeks.

Calibration

LOW tier, this pattern is structurally interesting but not directly calibratable yet. The confidence is a function of raw signal magnitude only.

Entities

• Addis Ababa (place) gravity 0.0006 · momentum -0.033 · Q3624

Signals

• factor 5.1
• n_prior 10
• cell_lat 8
• cell_lon 38
• n_recent 51
• cell_size 0.5
• tone_recent -2.28
• window_days 14
• nearest_place Addis Ababa
• nearest_place_km 140.5

Confidence (58%) is computed numerically from these signals. The sentence prose was written by an LLM given only the structured signals as input, the LLM never sees or chooses the confidence number.

What would change our mind

Event volume in the cell drops back to its prior 30-day baseline, or no new events arrive there for 7 consecutive days.

Inversion conditions are a property of the pattern detector, not the LLM. Watch for this signal move and the claim should weaken or be superseded.
