Epistemic Architecture and Organizational Performance

2026-03-24 A persistent challenge in industrial-organizational psychology is the prediction of team performance from structural and relational variables that precede observable outputs. The present paper addresses this gap by developing the Epistemic Architecture Model (EAM), a taxonomic framework that identifies five canonical epistemic settings in organizational teams and derives formal predictions about team performance from each. The practical implication is a diagnostic methodology that I/O psychologists can deploy to assess a team’s epistemic architecture and predict performance trajectories before they manifest in observable outputs.

Non-Reproducibility of Cosmological Initial Conditions

2026-03-20 Consider a thought experiment of maximal scope. Suppose it were possible to rewind the universe to the Planck epoch - to the very instant at which the observable cosmos emerged from the initial singularity - and to restart it under conditions identical in every specifiable respect. Would the resulting universe reproduce the one we inhabit? Would galaxies form in the same locations, planets coalesce around the same stars, biological evolution follow the same trajectory?. PDF
