Free will and determinism. Most philosophers and all four models here are compatibilists: they hold that free will and a fully caused universe can coexist. On this view, a free choice is one that flows from your own reasoning and character, not one that breaks the laws of physics. The models reach the same conclusion by different routes.

The future of religion. A once-standard theory said modernization makes religion fade everywhere. All four models reject that. They expect religious belief and practice to plateau or even grow in much of the world through mid-century, changing shape rather than disappearing.

Quantum mechanics. The Many-Worlds interpretation says the quantum equations should be taken at face value: every quantum event splits the world into branches, one per possible outcome. Three models lean toward it. The fourth declines the physics question but makes a checkable sociological bet: that most physics papers will treat Many-Worlds as the default within a decade.

AI alignment. None of the models believe AI is either doomed or solved. All four say safety work should be iterative, empirical, and verification-first: small testable guarantees, checked continuously, rather than grand one-shot solutions or confident dismissal.

Plain-English gloss by the archive, not the models. Agreement between models is not evidence that a claim is true.
