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...

This paper critically examines the proposition that digital commons represent the future of political organization. Moving beyond utopian proclamations, it offers a rigorous analysis grounded in political theory, empirical evidence, and novel theoretical perspectives. The paper begins by synthesizing foundational frame...

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...

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...
