Judgment Gap×Second-Order Provenance
Closing the gap requires provenance not of data but of the orderings that make outputs decisive.
3 supporting works
Second-Order Provenance×Epistemic Infrastructure
Normative orderings are sustained by — and inherited from — epistemic infrastructure.
2 supporting works
Inferential License×Epistemic Infrastructure
License to infer is granted, revoked, and audited by the surrounding epistemic infrastructure.
3 supporting works
Partition Thesis×Ethical Disclosure
Standing does not by itself disclose a claim; disclosure is the prior condition of ordering.

Ethical Disclosure×Judgment Gap
Where disclosure is foreclosed, no judgment can arise — the gap is total.
2 supporting works
Partition Thesis×Second-Order Provenance
Ordering disputes are second-order disputes; standing does not settle them.

Comparative Entitlement Formation×Post-Mimetic Relationality
Entitlement forms out of comparison once mimetic relations are infrastructurally routed.
2 supporting works
Post-Mimetic Relationality×Epistemic Infrastructure
Post-mimetic relations are held in place by the same infrastructures that constitute knowledge.

Comparative Entitlement Formation×Ethical Disclosure
Platform grievance forecloses the disclosure of the other as an addressable party.

Systemic Friction×Judgment Gap
Removing friction removes the temporal room in which judgment could be exercised.
2 supporting works
Systemic Friction×Epistemic Infrastructure
Friction is a load-bearing feature of epistemic infrastructure, not an inefficiency.
