this market resolves yes as soon as such a method that matches the description is trialed, and does not resolve no until market close, at which point it resolves n/a if a method that was tried ambiguously matches the description, and resolves no if nothing matches. if manifold tries a technique, that qualifies for a yes, whether the technique is kept or not.
example events that would resolve yes immediately:
Manifold trials a visualization shown on a market's page A of some kind of summary of traders's trades on markets besides A when market page A is viewed, eg "traders who own yes made the money that bought the yes shares from [starting balance, buy-no-then-sell-no on market b which resolved yes, buy yes on market c which resolved yes]"
Manifold provides an entire-network currency flow chord graph on the homepage
Manifold trials splitting accounts' balances into multiple play-currencies, divided by some market category or level of market clarity
Manifold trials visualizing each trader's income from a given market A on market A's page
Manifold trials a new way to contest a market's resolution criteria ahead of time, before the market has closed
example events that would, if the market would otherwise resolve "no" due to no match, cause this market to instead resolve n/a due to ambiguity in whether they matched this market's description:
Manifold makes traders' trade histories easier to open, but does not display them on any pages besides user-specific pages
Manifold creates more complex visualizations of trade histories, but they're only on user-specific pages
Manifold updates rules to ban markets that are ambiguous more precisely
example events that would definitely not qualify for a "yes":
Manifold marks specific users's acounts via targeted human intervention
Manifold creates new visualizations of your own trade history for your eyes only
Manifold adds ai enforcement of ambiguity rules which already exist and does not do anything to make this more interpretable to humans (this is explicitly disqualified from "yes" as such a method is trivial to evade)
Manifold bans categories which were previously allowed and states that the ban is due to ambiguity
Manifold adds a system-wide inflation/account decay behavior
Manifold adds a system for detecting "beauty contest"-style trades but instead of displaying them, simply bans them
Manifold adds a new system or improves an existing system for preventing market manipulation via rapid account creation, but instead of displaying the analysis to traders, simply bans the extra accounts
I will resolve according to my best judgement, after considering arguments made in the comments. if you believe an event warrants a "yes" resolution, please comment with a description of the event.
