Epistemic Closure and Falsifiability in AI-Mediated Self-Referential Systems

2026-03-13

Abstract excerpt

The proliferation of complex conceptual systems developed in interaction with artificial intelligence agents poses an epistemological problem not anticipated by classical theories of falsification: in such systems, the external validation agent is simultaneously a structural generator of narrative coherence, inducing a functional collapse between the roles of creation and assessment. This collapse is not reducible...
