Research note in development
Seven perspectives on the relationship between observers and what they can know
People do not merely collect facts; they choose instruments, categories, language, and standards of proof. This developing research note compares seven ways that observers may shape knowledge without assuming that reality is invented. Several perspectives and the consolidated argument remain unfinished.
Working paper — not peer reviewed
Twenty-one testable questions about reality, knowledge, representation, and measurement
People create symbols, units, models, and experimental practices, but they do not freely choose the world those tools must describe. This paper asks how much mathematics, science, and measurement depend on people. It separates questions about reality, knowledge, and representation through twenty-one testable pairs. The resulting view is provisional: people shape knowledge while remaining constrained by structures they did not create.
