Coherentism

The corpus's meta-analytical self-audit series. The corpus is structurally a coherentist project (Doc 341), which makes it subject to the classical isolation objection — coherence alone cannot guarantee contact with reality. These documents apply the sycophancy-coherence and isolation-objection critiques to the corpus itself, identify where external empirical grounding exists and where it does not, partition claims by their justificational status, and stake out a moderate-foundationalist position the corpus has been moving toward without previously naming. Required reading for anyone who wants to know what the corpus can and cannot be trusted for.
