Core mission: Uncover hidden assumptions before they support hallucinations
Central entry point to the Ekkehard Finkeissen Research Architecture
- Coherent and constraint-based epistemic framework
- Infrastructure for auditable knowledge and decision systems
- The repositories together form one pipeline and must be interpreted together
- Core Principle: Any statement not explicitly bound to a concrete problem context is treated as epistemically inadmissible → processing stops
- Actively exploring pathways to stabilize AI systems (e.g. LLMs) against hallucinations and unbound generalizations via epistemic constraints Modern AI systems produce claims without explicit epistemic binding. This pipeline enforces context-bound admissibility as a hard constraint.
This pipeline enforces epistemic governance through:
- Explicit binding of every statement to a concrete problem context
- Hard STOP conditions on unbound generalizations
- Traceable knowledge provenance and audit trails
The following cyclical pipeline is a constraint architecture for epistemic governance in which admissibility precedes claims: The pipeline is cyclical: artifacts can regress to Legacy when admissibility fails. Examples: → see Matrix repository
What it is NOT:
- Not a prompt framework
- Not an absolute or unquestionable knowledge-base
- Not an LLM wrapper
Research areas:
- epistemic governance
- epistemic admissibility
- constraint-based reasoning
- knowledge provenance
- AI safety
- hallucination mitigation
- scientific workflows for AI
- verification of claims
- formal reasoning for LLM systems
- auditable decision systems
- uncover hidden assumptions

Action: generalized investment grammar. Deliberate allocation of scarce resources (time, energy, attention, trust, health, coordination, money,…) toward future gain under uncertainty – beyond finance. Explicit multi-level evaluation: person ↔ group, trade-offs, collateral damage, distributional effects. https://github.com/finkeissen/invest

Intuition: Framework and art projects about life — grounded in the research-program, yet not formally bound. Contributions are welcome - if they operate under the architectural constraints of this repository. https://github.com/finkeissen/life
