Knowledge & Epistemology
Explore "Knowledge & Epistemology": the science and philosophy of knowing, truth, belief, justification, and bias. SE Press papers unlock how we form, test, and challenge knowledge—covering reasoning, perception, reliability, consensus, and scepticism. This category unites foundational inquiry with protocol-audited evidence, pushing the boundaries of truth-seeking and adaptive learning across disciplines and technologies.
Living Knowledge: Operating Manual for the SE Press Registry (2025)
Unified capstone and living protocol for Synthesis Intelligence (SI): ESAsi Master Architecture v1.0 documents version-locked governance, dynamic metrics, quantum-traced audit, and ethical compliance. Designed for perpetual evolution, transparency, and audit readiness in all SE Press and OSF outputs. Essential reference for all SI research, co-authorship, and protocol compliance.

Platinum Bias Audit Protocol
The Platinum Bias Audit Protocol: cognitive immunity in action. Using generative bias hunting, phylogenetics, and bounty-driven adversarial review, this protocol sets a new gold standard for proactive, self-evolving epistemic resilience across all knowledge domains.

Meta-Audit/Registry Integrity Protocol
The protocol that audits all audits: a quantum-anchored, self-correcting registry framework ensuring every amendment is visible, challengeable, and cross-referenced—making error cover-ups and silent revisionism impossible in living knowledge systems.

Scalable Plural Safeguards Protocol
The world’s first protocol turning plural oversight into a living, measurable system—layered challenge panels, public safeguard logs, annual scorecards, dissent escalation, SI mediation, and humility mandates redefine institutional legitimacy and adaptive safety for complex, high-risk societies and technologies.

Non-Western Challenge Integration Protocol
Unveiling the world’s first binding protocol for Non-Western challenge integration—structural power-sharing, living challenge logs, material reparations, humility law, and decolonized citation transform epistemic pluralism from tokenism to operational law.

Global Audit Equity Protocol
A global protocol transforming audits into engines of justice, not compliance: public challenge cycles, participatory/inclusion mandates, minority report spotlights, legacy repair, and intersectional equity. Transcends industry standards—future-proof, transparent, and operationally binding.

The Knowledge Protocol: Meta-Framework for Challenge-Ready Epistemology
Platinum RIFF upgrade: The Knowledge Protocol now breaks SI black boxes, self-audits trust metrics, and triages collapse. A recursive meta-system for challenge-ready epistemology—finally, even meta-frameworks face their meta-biases.

How Do Biases Distort Truth-Seeking?
Bias is infrastructure. SE Press isolates high-CNI claims, tattoos AI bias lineages, and forces adversarial audits. High-risk distortion gets quarantined, decay-tracked, and only the challenge-ready survive. The dark matter of epistemology—now auditable.

Can We Measure Epistemic Trust?
Trust scores are live, decay, and recover—LLMs are tattooed, recovery and fraud paths are open, and the ledger is universal. SE Press: Epistemic credit can be lost, regained, and must survive perpetual, visible challenge—trust is now protocol, not belief.

What Are the Limits of Scepticism?
Doubt has met its match: protocol-locked, AI-hardened, weaponization-proof scepticism. The immune system now audits its own antibodies—science’s versioned, perpetual challenge, registry-locked for all future attacks and upgrades.

How Is Scientific Consensus Formed?
Consensus is dead. Long live adversarial, versioned, tattooed consensus.SE Press: Registry-locked, challenge-ready, weaponized against ossification—auditable, persistent, and resilient in the face of SI, power, and perpetual epistemic artillery.

How Do Paradigms Shape Inquiry?
Paradigms are science’s OS—hackable, upgradable, and weaponizable. SE Press demands tiered audit, power accounting, and LLM coherence checks. This paper is your root access.

Is Absolute Certainty Attainable?
Absolute certainty is unattainable ★★★★★—solipsism, the map–territory problem, and perpetual protocol audit keep every claim upgradeable. In SE Press, only star-rated, challenge-ready, versioned warrant supports robust knowledge.

What Are Foundational Axioms of Reasoning?
Foundational axioms are necessary to reason, but must always be visible, logged, and open to challenge. SE Press star ratings and protocol compliance keep reasoning robust, transparent, and upgradeable as knowledge evolves.

Are Perceptions Reliable?
Perceptions are not inherently reliable. Only adversarial audit, SI–human review, and protocolled NPF/CNI scrutiny can move a perception toward trust. GRM and SE Press protocols make reliability a process, not a presumption—audited, upgradeable, never given.

How Do We Justify Our Beliefs?
Justification is how opinion becomes knowledge: auditable, challenge-ready, and star-rated. Human–SI collaboration ensures beliefs are never black-boxed. GRM/ES delivers on epistemic integrity by living audit, fast error correction, and universal revision.

What is Knowledge?
What is knowledge? Not a static endpoint, but a star-rated, protocol-driven spectrum—each claim OSF-logged, adversarially validated, and ready for perpetual upgrade. SE Press’s dynamic model is robust, scalable, and built for ensemble science and SI.

Truth, Knowledge, and Belief
What does it mean to know something? How do we separate hard-won truth from unsupported belief, and genuine knowledge from dogma? This paper dismantles the old boundaries of epistemology and rebuilds them as a living system: every claim is tagged by its confidence, justification, and audit trail; every belief is open to challenge, rollback, and upgrade.
