Why can prior achievement become a liability after wrongdoing? This conceptual article integrates research on tall-poppy effects, social comparison, schadenfreude, moral outrage, public shaming, news values, and criminal-record stigma into a theory of the Status-Punishment Paradox. Status ordinarily increases social va...

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...

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.

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...
