Non-Ergodicity Sets a Structural Floor on Replicability

2026-07-10

Abstract excerpt

<p>The replication crisis in the social and behavioral sciences is widely attributed to methodological flaws like low power and publication bias. However, these accounts assume replication failure is merely sampling error around a stable, universal truth. Human biopsychosocial processes are nearly universally non-ergodic: they vary significantly across individuals and over time. When such heterogeneity meets stand...
