Claim LD07-HQ-C08 (v1.0)

Chinese-language silicon-sample studies benchmarked against CGSS data find partial macro-level reproduction alongside representational bias, micro/macro/meso instability and cross-model differences; current systems do not warrant replacement of human respondents.

Research opportunities this claim motivates

What this claim leaves open for research. Each is a hypothesis about a gap, not a finding.

Does post-training change what an LLM measures when it codes text?Chinese-language silicon-sample studies show cross-model differences whose source is unknown.
Do silicon samples work outside the North Atlantic, and in which language?Locally grounded validation (here, Chinese CGSS) finds representational bias and instability.
