Babel Decoder: Epistemology of Irresponsibility — Diagnosing Verbal Zones Where Shared Reality Dissolves

This article introduces the Babel Decoder: an open, verifiable diagnostic tool for identifying epistemic barriers in polarized discourse. The methodology detects seven binary markers of "epistemic irresponsibility" — including denial of feedback, denial of mutuality, and moral asymmetry — and classifies discourse into five escalation levels, from peaceful relativism to total semantic collapse. The tool is designed to diagnose when communication becomes structurally resistant to dialogue, a pattern increasingly reproduced in AI language models trained on human text. The methodology is distributed under CC BY-SA 4.0 and includes a ready-to-use AI system prompt for independent verification. This work intersects conflict studies, computational discourse analysis, and AI ethics, offering a practical framework for researchers, journalists, and educators working with polarized communication. --- 🔗 Resources & Contact: • Full article (Medium): https://medium.com/@y_r_sl_v/epistemology-of-irresponsibility-diagnosing-verbal-zones-where-shared-reality-dissolves-2df00b009321 • Telegram: https://t.me/nuiumnklnik • Email: babeldecoder@gmail.com • Feedback welcome: Feel free to reach out with questions or collaboration ideas.
