🧠 Explore a new moral-cognitive framework that redefines knowledge as care through the lens of epistemic intimacy in relationships.
A theoretical synthesis introducing epistemic psychology—a framework uniting cognition, ethics, and relational science. Based on the Kahl Model of Epistemic Dissonance (KMED-R), it reconceptualises knowing as fiduciary care and introduces FBT, TACM, and the Intimate Epistemic Oath as tools for diagnosing trust and dependence.
A landmark interdisciplinary study that redefines cognitive dissonance and trust as foundations of knowing. Not a psychology paper but a theory-of-knowledge manifesto in psychological form—bridging mind, ethics, and governance.
KMED-R (Relationships) is a conceptual Python simulator modelling epistemic intimacy and trust. It extends the Kahl Model of Epistemic Dissonance (KMED) to relationships, formalising how recognition, suppression, repair and fiduciary care shape autonomy, tolerance and dependence in epistemic psychology.
