Claims
- CLAIM-000038 [defended] Authority is not conserved across an epistemic boundary.
- CLAIM-000045 [defended] Never allow continuity of intelligence to conceal discontinuity of warrant.
- CLAIM-000044 [defended] Jurisdiction-sensitive refusal can constitute superior epistemic performance.
- CLAIM-000043 [defended] An outsider may acquire greater epistemic jurisdiction than an incumbent by satisfying the relevant conditions of justified reliance more successfully.
- CLAIM-000042 [defended] Competence in one component of a heterogeneous decision does not entail jurisdiction over the whole.
- CLAIM-000041 [defended] Where perceived authority exceeds warranted authority, an authority debt exists.
- CLAIM-000040 [defended] Other things equal, the burden of jurisdictional reacquisition increases with jurisdictional distance.
- CLAIM-000039 [defended] Where the conditions that justify authority change, authority survives only to the extent that its justification survives.
- CLAIM-000030 [defended] The warrant required for contact rises discontinuously with its class, and the classes are not orderable by force magnitude.
- CLAIM-000031 [defended] Automating an undervalued task transfers the undervaluation rather than removing it, to the automation and to the humans who remain.
- CLAIM-000036 [defended] Authority that cannot be verified between machines cannot govern systems operating across households, institutions, and jurisdictions.
- CLAIM-000035 [defended] A dwelling's defining expectations are unstated, and are therefore violable without breach of any term the household agreed to.
- CLAIM-000034 [defended] The inferability of a fact about a person is not a justification for inferring it, and incidental inference is not a justification for acting on it.
- CLAIM-000033 [defended] Autonomy presented as a substitute for supervision reduces the number of answerable parties without reducing the harm, thereby transferring risk from those who profit to those subject.
- CLAIM-000032 [defended] An error shared across a population is not an anomaly but a practice, and is therefore undetectable by mechanisms that identify deviation.
- CLAIM-000037 [defended] Retention converts perception into record and disclosure converts record into testimony; each transition increases moral weight and decreases the observed person's control.
- CLAIM-000025 [defended] The governance a system requires is determined by the modality of its output, not by the magnitude of its capability; at the point where inference is coupled to matter, evaluation of content ceases to be sufficient.
- CLAIM-000026 [defended] As generality rises, the gap between what a system can do and what it may do widens without limit, and only the second admits governance.
- CLAIM-000027 [defended] Authorisation is logically prior to optimisation: no improvement in an objective can supply the standing that the act requires.
- CLAIM-000028 [canonical] An embodied system may act only when the proposed action is justified by task, permission, safety, privacy, dignity, reversibility, and answerability together.
- CLAIM-000029 [defended] Compliance is informative only if refusal is possible; a system that complies universally provides no evidence about the propriety of any particular compliance.
- CLAIM-000023 [proposed] The artificial polymath has breadth without biography.
- CLAIM-000015 [proposed] Information does not contain its own rank.
- CLAIM-000016 [proposed] Relation is not relevance.
- CLAIM-000017 [proposed] Relevance is the justified priority of a relation under value, consequence, and answerability.
- CLAIM-000018 [proposed] Salience is not warrant.
- CLAIM-000019 [proposed] Attention is the first ethical field.
- CLAIM-000020 [proposed] The frame problem has become civilizational.
- CLAIM-000021 [proposed] Institutions are relevance machines.
- CLAIM-000022 [proposed] AI governance is relevance governance.
- CLAIM-000024 [proposed] The human role after machine breadth is the preservation of answerable relevance.
- CLAIM-000001 [defended] Polymathy is not the possession of many knowledges but the perception and transport of deep structure across domains.
- CLAIM-000014 [defended] A serious work should not seek immunity from refutation, but a structure clear enough that refutation, if it comes, will be exact.
- CLAIM-000013 [defended] The age of cheap breadth is the age in which selfhood becomes the decisive human competence.
- CLAIM-000012 [defended] The human contribution in an age of artificial polymaths is the integration of breadth under a unified horizon of value.
- CLAIM-000011 [defended] Relevance, warrant, and answerability are normative and teleological, not merely structural.
- CLAIM-000010 [defended] The machine has structure without stakes.
- CLAIM-000009 [defended] Large machine-learning systems are artificial polymaths because they supply structural breadth across domains.
- CLAIM-000008 [defended] The tragedy of the polymathic mind is the proliferation of beginnings without completion.
- CLAIM-000007 [defended] The genuine polymath is neither the narrow specialist nor the dilettante, but the Aristotelian mean between parochialism and shallow breadth.
- CLAIM-000006 [defended] Specialization produces depth, but it systematically underproduces the connections between deep wells of knowledge.
- CLAIM-000005 [defended] The brain is itself polymathic insofar as it reuses and redeploys circuitry across functions.
- CLAIM-000004 [defended] Consilience is polymathy performed by a civilization rather than by a single person.
- CLAIM-000003 [defended] The apparent breadth of the polymath is the surface manifestation of underlying structural depth.
- CLAIM-000002 [defended] Disciplines are administrative partitions of labor, not natural seams in reality.
Passages
- PASSAGE-000045 (maxim) "Never allow continuity of intelligence to conceal discontinuity of warrant."
- PASSAGE-000044 (definition) "Jurisdiction-sensitive refusal is the representation of insufficient warrant at the level of action."
- PASSAGE-000043 (claim) "When an entrant satisfies the relevant conditions of justified reliance more successfully than incumbent authorities, epistemic jurisdiction may rationally migrate to the entrant."
- PASSAGE-000038 (thesis) "Authority is not conserved across an epistemic boundary. When the conditions that warranted an intelligence's authority materially change, only warrant demonstrated to survive the crossing may travel with it; every domain-dependent remainder must be reacquired under the conditions of the receiving world."
- PASSAGE-000039 (thesis) "Where the conditions that justify authority change, authority survives only to the extent that its justification survives. Whatever does not survive must be justified again."
- PASSAGE-000040 (claim) "Other things equal, the burden of jurisdictional reacquisition increases with the material epistemic distance of the crossing."
- PASSAGE-000041 (maxim) "Past competence is evidence. It is not universal currency."
- PASSAGE-000042 (claim) "When a consequential judgment contains irreducibly heterogeneous epistemic components, legitimate authority over the whole cannot be inferred from supremacy in any one component."
- PASSAGE-000033 (thesis) "The polymath is a relational concept. One can only be a crosser of boundaries where boundaries have been drawn."
- PASSAGE-000034 (aphorism) "There is a folk image, and the folk image is misleading."
- PASSAGE-000035 (thesis) "Before the disciplines there were no polymaths, because there was nothing to be poly about; there were only learned persons."
- PASSAGE-000036 (definition) "The polymath is not someone who knows many things but someone for whom the division of knowledge into disciplines has ceased to be experienced as a fact about reality."
- PASSAGE-000037 (aphorism) "It claims no finality. It claims only to be exposed."
- PASSAGE-000029 (thesis) "Not everything a machine can infer should become a reason to act."

- PASSAGE-000031 (aphorism) "A single robot may make a mistake. A fleet may normalize one."
- PASSAGE-000016 (thesis) "Artificial intelligence was once imagined as mind without body. Embodied intelligence ends that innocence."
- PASSAGE-000032 (thesis) "To enter the world is to become answerable to what can be harmed."
- PASSAGE-000017 (aphorism) "A system that once hallucinated in language may now hallucinate in space."
- PASSAGE-000018 (thesis) "Embodiment transforms intelligence from epistemic output into physically answerable agency."
- PASSAGE-000019 (aphorism) "An answer can be false without touching the world. An act cannot."
- PASSAGE-000020 (thesis) "Correctness and legitimacy are orthogonal, and only one of them has been theorised."
- PASSAGE-000021 (aphorism) "The room is not a field of objects. It is a field of possible violations."
- PASSAGE-000022 (definition) "Embodied relevance is the justified priority of action under physical consequence."
- PASSAGE-000023 (thesis) "Permission is the structure that prevents capability from becoming trespass."
- PASSAGE-000024 (aphorism) "No capability is self-authorizing."
- PASSAGE-000025 (thesis) "Refusal is not the opposite of obedience. Refusal is the condition of trustworthy obedience."
- PASSAGE-000026 (aphorism) "Touch is not a function call."
- PASSAGE-000027 (thesis) "A home is not a task environment. A home is a field of trust."
- PASSAGE-000028 (aphorism) "Forgetting must be designed. Memory arrives for free."
- PASSAGE-000003 (maxim) "That is the only kind of permanence a serious text can honestly seek, and the only kind worth seeking: not immunity from refutation, but a structure clear enough that refutation, if it comes, will be exact."
- PASSAGE-000002 (aphorism) "The machine has structure without stakes."
- PASSAGE-000001 (thesis) "Polymathy is not the possession of many knowledges. It is the cultivation of a single competence — the perception and transport of deep structure across domains — which becomes visible only when exercised across the inherited partitions of knowledge, but which is constituted independently of those partitions."
