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.

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.
