This paper introduces the Epistemic Overlay as the second formal layer of a Constructive Ethical System Based on Proof. Building upon the foundational logic of Layer I (Nymion, N. 2025. Constructive Ethical System Based on Proof - Layer 1. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15346731) - where ethical obligations and statuses arise only from constructive proof - Layer II equips agents with formal tools for reasoning under uncertainty, managing incomplete knowledge, revising beliefs, and acting provisionally. The epistemic layer enables agents to form beliefs, recognize information gaps, track contested claims, and assess trust when proofs are pending, missing, or disputed. It enhances realism, adaptability, and operational coherence while preserving the core system’s commitment to provability and transparency.
