TRIGNUMENTALITY: A Transcendental Critique of Artificial Knowledge
Abstract
Trignumentality is a new philosophical-technical doctrine that synthesizes Kantian transcendental critique with the technical architecture of the TRIGNUM projects, establishing the first unified framework for epistemic authorization in autonomous AI systems. The doctrine rests on five principles:(1) The Raw Material Principle — AI outputs are not knowledge, they are raw material(2) The Technical A Priori Principle — validation must occur before execution, not after(3) The Human Sovereignty Principle — the human is the final judge(4) The Epistemic Integration Principle — knowledge emerges from reason + AI + the sensible world(5) The Ultimate Reference Principle — the sensible world is the final boundary These principles are not abstract. They are embodied in running code: • TRIGNUM-300M: A zero-model subtractive filter achieving 91.3% F1 on structural illogic detection at
