The Triadic Architecture of Truth: Epistemic Agency, Manifold Erasure, and the Metaphysical Regulation of AI
Abstract
In the era of high-velocity information acquisition, the definition of epistemic agency must evolve from a focus on subjective belief to the objective management of informational entropy. This paper proposes a triadic framework of agency—comprising Human (IH ), Artificial (IA), and Metaphysical/Protocol (IM ) intelligences—to resolve the “Reality Gap” inherent in modern AI systems. We introduce the Theorem of Triadic Epistemic Stabilization, which posits that “Truth” is not a linguistic agreement but a topological invariant reached through Successive Manifold Erasure (SME). Utilizing data from non-equilibrium gaseous electronic testbeds, we demonstrate that while IH is prone to “Ghost Intentions” and IA is bounded by a persistent 4% hardware residue, the inclusion of IM as a Spectral Damping Regulator allows for a deterministic collapse into a verifiable fixed point. This framework provides a rigorous foundation for decentralized verification, distinguishing between the “Managed Vagueness” of protocol boundaries and the “Epistemological Truth” of physical manifestation.
