Summary

Meta-level policy: Later entries supersede earlier ones when contradictions arise. Examples: “Dialectic Catalyst” refines “Dialectic Agent”; “Defending Bayes Part 5” expands Part 2’s scope. Rationale: (1) Conditionalism—truths depend on conditions/assumptions, which evolve. (2) QBU framework—later posts = distinct intellectual Vantages with updated Measure (more complete understanding). (3) Evolutionary Epistemology—contradictions signal growth, self-criticism, refinement. Practical implications: Prioritize later posts; older remain valuable historical records; “Foundational/Canonical” require explicit supersession statement. Transparent policy reinforcing intellectual rigor, authenticity, iterative advancement. Embodies commitment to evolving knowledge over fixed doctrine.
