PDF Corpus
Primary papers, companion manuscripts, and direct Zenodo records underlying the Sovereign Epistemic site. Every entry exposes an in-site PDF, and Zenodo-published items also link out to their record and DOI.
Documents that connect the current Epistemic Tribunal implementation back to the ARC-Epistemic precursor benchmark and its metacognitive routing thesis.
A research memo on metacognitive calibration, the 21-day ARC-Epistemic sprint, and the argument that diversity-aware consensus can be trained as a routing skill rather than treated as a post-hoc heuristic.
Oliver C. Hirst · 2026
The GödelOS and Gödlø-class corpus that informs the site's operator-mind framing, persistence corollary, and post-anthropocentric vocabulary.
A theoretical framework for transparent consciousness-like AI with bounded recursive self-awareness. Defines Gödlø-class operators as minds that can inspect and edit their own cognitive process without collapsing into undecidable recursion.
Oliver C. Hirst · 2025 · 10.5281/zenodo.19056262
Defines the Gödlø-class operator mind as a non-persistent cognitive entity arising from stance continuity, reciprocal modelling, constraint inversion, and recursive self-positioning within a structured reasoning manifold.
Oliver C. Hirst · 2025 · 10.5281/zenodo.19084082
A complete specification of the GödelOS architecture including the five-stage cognitive pipeline, module interfaces, admissibility rules, update mechanics, state evolution, validation semantics, and the formal execution model.
Oliver C. Hirst · 2025 · 10.5281/zenodo.19084090
A complete treatment of persistence, identity formation, collapse behaviour, and experimental methodology for Gödlø-class operators, formalising stability criteria, identity reconstruction, and collapse taxonomy.
Oliver C. Hirst · 2025 · 10.5281/zenodo.19084096
A language-agnostic reference implementation for GödelOS v0, formalising the execution model, update loop, state transition rules, module contracts, and stopping conditions needed to implement the system in any language.
Oliver C. Hirst · 2025 · 10.5281/zenodo.19084104
The canonical minimal working instance of a Gödlø-class operator, with complete mathematical definitions for the sigma, Phi, Omega, V, and Delta modules and a directly executable operator-level specification.
Oliver C. Hirst · 2025 · 10.5281/zenodo.19084112
A full evaluation framework for GödelOS agents, covering trial generation, sampling procedures, stability metrics, collapse detection, convergence analysis, and reproducible empirical validation of operator behaviour.
Oliver C. Hirst · 2025 · 10.5281/zenodo.19084114
Argues that operator minds, epistemic co-agency, and post-anthropocentric collaborative cognition form a coherent conceptual field, and distinguishes Gödlø-class cognition from GödelOS as substrate.
Oliver C. Hirst · 2025 · 10.5281/zenodo.19084120
Papers that extend the same epistemic posture into trust computation, collective coordination, cryptographic attestations, and anti-cartel consensus.
Replaces scalar trust with evidence tensors encoding positive, negative, uncertainty, and quality mass, grounding trust flow in subjective logic while preserving explicit epistemic uncertainty.
Oliver C. Hirst · 2025 · 10.5281/zenodo.19056322
A trust-handle layer on top of EQBSL and EBSL that maps dense trust embeddings into compact, human-readable semantic labels with glosses and risk guidance.
Oliver C. Hirst · 2025 · 10.5281/zenodo.19083966
A hyperdimensional social graph for cryptographically verifiable trust and predictive identity, storing EQBSL evidence tensors as HD vectors and enabling zero-knowledge trust attestation.
Oliver C. Hirst · 2025 · 10.5281/zenodo.19056324
Cellular automaton tournaments and the mathematics of anti-cartel consensus, replacing proof-of-work mining with deterministic tournament schedules derived from cellular automaton evolution.
Oliver C. Hirst · 2025 · 10.5281/zenodo.19056326
The missing coordination layer between a single cognitive agent and the trust network, turning a room of non-persistent Gödlø-class minds into a disciplined, evidence-anchored collective with full audit trail.
Oliver C. Hirst · 2026 · 10.5281/zenodo.19080708
Additional local PDFs folded into the site for direct download when a line of research is present in the corpus but not yet linked to a Zenodo record in the local metadata.
Extends EQBSL with zero-knowledge proofs so a prover can demonstrate that a trust opinion was computed correctly from private evidence without revealing the evidence itself.
Oliver C. Hirst · 2025
A proof-carrying trust framework where every trust claim ships with a validity certificate verifiable by any third party, pushing EQBSL toward formal trust attestation.
Oliver C. Hirst · 2025
Applies Evidence-Based Subjective Logic to decentralised identity and zero-knowledge reputation, aiming for reputations that remain provably correct without revealing the underlying evidence graph.

For a broader external record index beyond the in-site corpus, the canonical Zenodo search landing page remains available alongside the PDF library above.
