Welcome to the NPF/CNI Series: The Neural Pathway Fallacy
This is the landing page for the NPF/CNI series: a formal hypothesis that repeated poor reasoning habits entrench neural circuits and form belief networks. It includes six canonical papers, four bridge essays, five science communication essays, appendices, and an OSF archive. All materials are open under CC0.

Paper 6: Synthesis – A Covenant for Epistemic Resilience
This concluding paper synthesises the NPF/CNI series, articulating a covenant for epistemic resilience. It revisits neurodiversity as collective strength, positions synthetic intelligence as part of the epistemic immune system with FEN metrics (proto‑awareness, auto‑reject), elaborates falsification conditions, and issues an open invitation to adversarial collaboration. The covenantal statement commits to honesty, corrigibility, inclusion, open science, and flourishing.
