The Feedback-Time Problem
The Feedback-Time Problem
Scientific credibility depends not only on the logical structure of theories, but on the temporal architecture through which predictions become empirically visible.This conceptual essay introduces the notion of feedback time as a structural variable shaping the social credibility of scientific theories. It examines how the temporal structure of verification cycles influences the boundary between science, pseudoscience, and technological authority, particularly in the context of emerging artificial intelligence.
