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 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...

The COVID-19 pandemic served as a profound stress test for the global scientific enterprise, conducted under unprecedented public scrutiny and political pressure. This paper argues that the pandemic did not simply erode scientific objectivity but rather accelerated a necessary reckoning with its complex nature. Moving...

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...

The emergence of ChatGPT and similar large language models has precipitated fundamental questions about the nature and distribution of epistemic authority in contemporary knowledge systems. This comprehensive analysis examines whether ChatGPT undermines human epistemic authority through a multi-dimensional theoretical...

The question of whether moral facts are real or constructed has dominated metaethical discourse for centuries, with traditional positions including moral realism, anti-realism, and constructivism offering competing accounts of moral ontology. This paper introduces four novel theoretical frameworks that transcend tradit...

Zero-knowledge proofs can verify computing results without rerunning workloads or exposing sensitive data. Magnetar helps bring them into the mainstream with support for standard programming languages, major speed gains, and quantum-resistant security. The post Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar appeared first on Microsoft Research.
