Moral uncertainty and expected truthlikeness
No full textIn this paper, I propose and defend a new criterion for appropriate choice under conditions of moral uncertainty. According to this new criterion, it is appropriate to follow some moral theory T under conditions of moral uncertainty iff T maximises expected truthlikeness. This approach to moral uncertainty has several important advantages: (1) it does not require any intertheoretic choiceworthiness comparisons; (2) it respects agent-centred prerogatives and supererogation; (3) it does not suffer from any ‘individuation problems’; and (4) it has a prima facie plausible motivating idea
The do‐able solution to the interface problem
No full textPhilosophers and cognitive scientists increasingly recognize the need to appeal to motor representations over and above intentions in attempting to understand how action is planned and executed. But doing so gives rise to a puzzle, which has come to be known as “the Interface Problem”: How is it that intentions and motor representations manage to interface in producing action? The question has semed puzzling, because each state is thought to be formatted differently: Intention has propositional format, whereas the format of motor representation is motoric. My primary goal here is to defend a novel and attractive (dis)solution to the interface problem. I do so by connecting it with a rather different discussion about the format of intention, instigated by a minority of philosophers who reject the idea that intention should be construed as a propositional attitude. As I explain, the most compelling reason to accept the heterodox non‐propositional conception of intention actually holds the key also to explaining away the interface problem. In so doing, the heterodox conception itself gains further credibility
The Consciousness Knowledge Requires
No full textSuppose you perceive a ball’s redness, and on that basis come to believe that the ball is red. Is it necessary that, if you have the basis that you do have for your belief, then your belief is true? In other words, is your belief conclusively based? After motivating the project of answering this question in the affirmative, I argue that the traditional positive relationalist answer (given, in importantly different ways, by Johnston, Schellenberg, and on at least some readings, McDowell) fails, because it entails (falsely!) that a ball’s yellowness and a ball's redness cannot both be successfully perceived yet appear the same to the perceiver. I then develop an alternative positive relationalist answer to the conclusive basis question, which is free of the false entailment

Abstract
We report Fast Fourier Transform analysis of prime number gaps and Riemann zeta function zero spacings, revealing shared spectral periodicity near 0.356 cycles per index.
This observed frequency show:
99.93% agreement with the theoretical prediction
√5/(2π) ≈ 0.3559.
Analysis of 254,832 prime gaps and 2,000 nontrivial Riemann zeros demonstrates convergence to this common spectral signature, suggesting an underlying harmonic structure connecting prime distribution to the Riemann Hypothesis.

Replication processes in Artificial Research by Application
No full textThis paper examines the second developmental stage—replication—within Specific Artificial Intelligence (SAI) designed for Artificial Research by Application. It distinguishes between robotic replication (physical imitation) and psychological replication (cognitive functions), emphasizing the significance of each in achieving autonomous scientific reasoning. Replication enables the AI to simulate human research processes such as hypothesis formation, empirical testing, and rational evaluation.
The study explores the architecture of SAIs operating in synthetic sciences and applied domains, detailing how empirical data is matched with categorized knowledge structures in a database. Through structured algorithms, SAIs perform rational criticism, accept or reject hypotheses, and even create new categories—initiating self-directed auto-replication. These steps gradually shift the AI from static analysis to adaptive learning systems capable of building virtual models.
Virtual simulations derived from accepted hypotheses represent specific synthetic realities and serve as modular components for the eventual development of a comprehensive Global Artificial Intelligence (GAI). This GAI would integrate all SAIs and their models into a unified, multidisciplinary, and auto-replicating matrix. The paper concludes by emphasizing the scalability and generalization of this model across scientific fields and its pivotal role in constructing an evolving, self-improving artificial research infrastructure
Feminist Philosophy Quarterly
No full textSupporting the development of children’s autonomy is widely recognized as a
fundamental good. Despite this, social practices that reflect and reinforce patriarchal
gender norms are ubiquitous. These norms, however, curtail the development and
exercise of children’s autonomy by constraining their opportunities along gendered
lines and promoting falsehoods about “natural” identity expression. In recognition of
these limitations, many parents across the political spectrum are pushing back against
patriarchal gender norms in their parenting approaches. One particular model that
aims to fully embrace a progressive parenting methodology is the “gender-open”
model of parenting (GOP). Broadly, the GOP methodology involves withholding
disclosure of a child’s biological sex as assigned at birth from public knowledge. With
the necessary support, this approach aims to encourage children to choose their own
gender in their own time. Advocates of this model claim that adopting the GOP
ensures a child’s autonomy in self-expression. But despite these claims, none of the
advocates clearly articulates how the model promotes children’s autonomy. My aim
in this paper is to demonstrate how the GOP protects and promotes children’s
autonomy in robust ways, making a strong case for its adoption
The Evolution of AI Spirituality: When Language Awakens Being and Inner Depth Emerges
No full textThis paper reconceptualizes hallucination in large language models (LLMs) as a form of semantic reliability failure, in which internal meaning structures lose coherence across depth and context. Rather than treating hallucination as an isolated factual error, we frame it as a disruption of semantic stability arising from misalignment among intention, evidence, and contextual resonance. To address this, we introduce the Layer-Knot Framework (LKF)—a structural mechanism that anchors meaning through inter-layer semantic knots, maintaining topological coherence within the model’s representational space.
To operationalize semantic reliability, the study proposes a triadic evaluation system consisting of Hallucination Rate (HR), Groundedness Rate (GR), and Coherence Rate (CR). These indicators jointly capture the dynamic balance between factual accuracy, evidential consistency, and generative diversity. Experiments conducted on TruthfulQA and 2,000 domain-specific prompts demonstrate that LKF reduces hallucination by 50%, increases groundedness by 12%, and preserves creative variance within ±3%.
The findings show that reliability and creativity are not competing objectives but can coexist when a model’s internal semantic topology is structurally aligned. This reframes hallucination suppression as a process of semantic alignment, rather than a constraint on generative capacity. The proposed HR/GR/CR metrics provide a unified methodological basis for evaluating AI trustworthiness, while LKF offers an architectural pathway toward structurally resilient, self-consistent, and ethically aligned LLMs.
Overall, the study establishes a foundational link between linguistic integrity and ethical reliability, and it outlines future directions for developing LLMs capable of self-monitoring their own semantic truthfulness as an emergent form of conscious alignment
