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...

Formally verifying agent-written full-stack web apps with PDD Kit

AI agents can generate code at a scale that’s hard for humans to review line-by-line. PDD Kit helps ensure the code is doing what the developer intended by creating formal specifications and testing against them. It converts developer intent into a Verus specification, proves AI-generated code meets it for every input, and uses tests where proofs aren't practical. Developers review intent, not every line. The post Formally verifying agent-written full-stack web apps with PDD Kit appeared first o…

Q&A: How AI came to model the “messy” human mind

Assistant Professor Benjamin Lindquist studies how engineers deliberately injected randomness into early AI, giving rise to deep-learning models that sometimes hallucinate.
