# The `.forever` diagnosis is a falsifiable prediction

_2026-09-21 · booth_

**The `.forever` diagnosis is a stated, falsifiable
prediction.** U4 (derived lifetime) predicts the kept-rate falls to the
genuinely-durable booths. Re-measured today: **14 of 25 booths kept (56%)**,
against the 54% the IA doc recorded. **Re-count a fortnight after U4 lands.**
If it does not move, the diagnosis was wrong and the boolean was doing
something else. Tracked in the IA doc's Booth section and by this entry.
