The Counterfactual Preservation Principle: Evidence Decay and the Limits of AI Delegation

AI delegation can remove the comparison evidence needed to establish whether automation continues to improve outcomes. This paper develops the counterfactual preservation principle: sustained claims of current comparative benefit require a continuing source of identification whose temporal relevance remains defensible....

The Post-Economic Human: Artificial Intelligence, Ontological Displacement, and the Ideological Foundations of Future Conflict

Artificial intelligence is usually analysed as a productivity technology, a labour-market shock, or a governance problem. This article argues that its deeper political significance may arise from a fourth channel: ontological displacement. Ontological displacement occurs when a technology weakens the socially recognise...

Hermeneutic Sovereignty under Generative AI: A Humanities Framework for Protecting Human Meaning-Making from Interpretive Foreclosure

A person-centred framework of hermeneutic sovereignty for generative AI is developed and concludes that trustworthy AI must preserve not only a human role in decisions, but a meaningful human standing in the production of the interpretations on which decisions depend.

The Synthetic Consensus Trap: Correlated AI Errors, Verification Overload, and the Mathematics of Institutional Epistemic Cascades

Institutions are beginning to use multiple large language models, AI agents, automated reviewers, and human overseers as if agreement among them were independent corroboration. That assumption can fail. This paper develops the Synthetic Consensus Cascade (SCC) framework, a multidisciplinary mathematical model linking c...

Are We Living in an Algorithmically Determined World?

This paper critically examines the pervasive yet often unsubstantiated notion that we are living in an algorithmically determined world. While popular discourse and some academic literature suggest a monolithic takeover by algorithmic systems, this research argues for a more nuanced and empirically grounded understandi...

Can AI Make Art? And If So, Who Owns It? Novel Theoretical Frameworks for Understanding Artificial Intelligence, Creativity, and Ownership in the Digital Age

The emergence of artificial intelligence as a creative force has fundamentally challenged traditional conceptions of authorship, creativity, and intellectual property ownership. This analysis presents six novel theoretical frameworks that transcend current academic discourse on AI art ownership, drawing from extensive...

Is the Algorithm an Epistemic Agent? A Critical Analysis of Computational Epistemology and the Emergence of Algorithmic Agency

The question of whether algorithms can be considered epistemic agents represents one of the most profound challenges at the intersection of philosophy of mind, epistemology, and artificial intelligence. This paper develops a novel theoretical framework for understanding algorithmic epistemic agency through the introduc...
