This thesis introduces a novel theoretical framework, the Liminal Ontology, to address the enduring philosophical and scientific challenges posed by consciousness, identity, and anomalous experiences. Moving beyond the traditional dualism of mind and matter and the limitations of materialism, the Liminal Ontology posit...

This paper critically examines the foundational assumptions of rational decision-making models and finds them to be systematically and comprehensively flawed. Through a rigorous analysis of empirical evidence from behavioral economics and neuroscience, we demonstrate that traditional models, such as Expected Utility Th...

This thesis investigates the complex and often contentious question of whether predictive models are epistemically superior to causal models. It challenges the simplistic dichotomy that often frames this debate, arguing that the epistemic superiority of a model is not an intrinsic property but is contingent upon the sp...

This paper develops a novel account of truth grounded in fluctuational epistemology, a framework that situates knowledge within the ontological instability of reality. Traditional theories—correspondence, coherence, pragmatic, and deflationary—assume varying degrees of stability in the relation between propositions and...

This paper critically examines the long-standing question of whether scientific explanation depends on narrative coherence. While traditional philosophy of science has largely marginalized the role of narrative, this paper argues that narrative coherence is not merely a rhetorical or pedagogical tool, but a fundamental...

Gold entered the second half of 2026 in an unusually unstable regime. The metal reached an LBMA benchmark high above US 5,500/oz in January, fell below US 4,000/oz in June, and rebounded to US 4,336.02/oz on 7 August after a weak U.S. employment report altered the expected interest-rate path. This paper develops an ori...
