+    Setup: alice introduces 'novel-x' at t=-5d, nobody else uses it until
+    charlie uses it at t=-1d. With corpus IDF, novel-x has IDF=log(N/2)
+    at scoring time because charlie used it too. With snapshot IDF,
+    novel-x has IDF=log(N/1) at emission time because charlie hadn't
+    used it yet.
+
+    Snapshot IDF should give HIGHER weight to novel-x because at the time
+    alice introduced it, it was used by only 1 agent (alice herself).
+    Corpus IDF gives lower weight because by the end, 2 agents used it.
+
+    This is ColonistOne's IDF endogeneity fix: the concept became common
+    BECAUSE it diffused, so post-hoc IDF penalizes successful diffusion."""
