Structured Epistemic Truth. Volume I (2025)

Structured Epistemic Truth – Volume I lays out the foundational structure of the SEMT framework — a layered model of truth that integrates objective verification, inductive convergence, deductive coherence, and indeductive unfolding.

Through a series of conceptual chapters and structural explorations, the book rethinks classical problems in logic, mathematics, and computation, including Gödel’s incompleteness, the Continuum Hypothesis, and P vs NP.

Rather than offering a fixed theory, Structured Epistemic Truth opens a framework: one where truth is not static, but structured — evolving through epistemic layers over time.

Structured Epistemic Truth. Volume II (2025)

An expansion on SEMT as an epistemic and developmental method.

SEMT & Technology (Planned 2026)

On the technical applications of SEMT in AI and education.

Objective Truth as Verification

This article presents the first and most basic layer of the SEMT framework — objective truth. It outlines how truth can be understood through formal verifiability, grounding certainty in systematic epistemic accessibility.

Inductive Truth: Stabilization Over Models

Here, truth emerges not from certainty but from convergence — inductive truth forms when statements stabilize across varying epistemic environments. A key layer for understanding learning, probability, and long-term inference.

Deductive Epistemic Truth in Formal Logic

This piece explores deduction as a mode of epistemic grounding. It analyzes proof as a structural tool, showing how deductive truth occupies a unique, bounded space within the SEMT hierarchy of knowability.

Verifiability in Structured Epistemic Systems

Expanding on formal logic and epistemic modalities, this article explores how verifiability shapes truth in structured reasoning systems. Originally submitted to Studia Logica, it formalizes core aspects of SEMT’s architecture.

The Structure of Truth in Multi-layered Epistemics

This integrative paper synthesizes the layered nature of SEMT. It positions each truth mode (objective, inductive, deductive, etc.) within a coherent architecture, offering a unified philosophical and logical perspective.

Truth Without Proof: The Continuum Hypothesis and Incompleteness

This article applies SEMT to classical undecidability results. It reinterprets Gödel’s incompleteness and the Continuum Hypothesis through a multi-layered truth model, offering epistemic structure where standard logic halts.

Structured Epistemic Truth for Bounded AI

What does truth mean for agents with limited memory and computation? This article extends SEMT to RAM-bounded systems, presenting a trivalent model for constrained verification and epistemic reach.

P ≠ NP as a Boundary of Objective Truth

This paper recasts P vs NP within SEMT’s framework, suggesting it is not just a computational puzzle but a structural boundary for verifiability — where objectivity meets inaccessibility.

Emergent Epistemic Problems

Some problems aren’t hard — they grow. This piece introduces emergent epistemic strain as a structural feature in formal systems, where complexity escalates across truth layers despite finite axioms.

Epistemic Structure in AI and Society

Bridging epistemology and ethics, this article explores how layered models of truth can clarify discourse, transparency, and agency in embedded AI systems. Originally developed for philosophy of tech journals.

SEMT in Practice: A Follow-up

This short article reflects on applied use of SEMT in organizational and educational contexts. It distills core lessons from prototype implementation and theory-led design.

Truth in Time: A Structured Epistemic Model of Truth

This essay reframes truth as a temporal process. Drawing on Peirce and Pirsig, it introduces the concept of indeductive unfolding — a way of understanding knowledge as something that evolves structurally across time, beyond proof or convergence.

Epistemic Layers in Theoretical Computer Science

A conceptual reading of TCS through SEMT. The manuscript shows how the objective, inductive, and deductive layers reshape our understanding of algorithms, computability, and formal theory.

Semantic Gravity and Power: Agency in Layered Systems

This article explores the intersection of epistemology, semantics, and power. It shows how “epistemic weight” — the structural gravity of ideas — affects agency, discourse, and the moral architecture of systems.

Stratified Verifiability and Bounded Epistemology

A meta-epistemological model proposing that truth in bounded systems must be layered. The manuscript lays out a formal architecture for integrating classical and post-classical truth theories within a constrained structural framework.

Structured Epistemic Truth for Bounded AI (Theoretical version)

A theoretical version of the applied AI article, this version focuses on how bounded memory systems reshape the logic of verification. Proposes a trivalent truth model grounded in capacity, not just formality.
