Co-Experience Knowledge and Its Continuity: Emergence, Symbolization, and Regeneration

Some knowledge appears to arise through shared practice, reciprocal adjustment, differentiated roles, testimony, distributed evidence, and accumulated relational history. Its later continuity may depend on texts, recordings, artifacts, apprenticeship, reconstruction, and successo...

The Transmission of Co-Experience Knowledge: Interpretive Power, Epistemic Standing, and Responsibility

Knowledge generated through shared practice, testimony, consultation, oral history, collaborative research, and institutional inquiry acquires portability through selective transformations. A relation gives rise to an account; an account becomes a trace; a trace enters interpreta...

Recommendation Injustice: Pathologies of Shared-Experience Transmission through the Alienation of Recommenders into Relational Credit

Institutions that select people ask others to vouch for them. This paper asks what circulates when they do. Classical political economy studies the circulation of goods, and the economics of collateral-free lending the circulation of skill where no assessment reaches; what a refe...

Power in Recommendation and the Jurisprudence of Co-Experience: Who Has the Right to Interpret, Contest, Transmit, and Reproduce Shared Experience?

An account of a shared experience is composed by one participant in a relation and used by a third party who did not participate in it, while the person it describes is ordinarily absent. This paper asks what rights attach to such an account and to whom, treating interpretation,...

The Governance of Co-Experience Transmission: A Generative Relational Theory of Institutional Design under Interpretive Asymmetry

An account of a shared experience is composed by one participant in a relation and used by a third party who took no part in it. An earlier paper in this series established how positive law allocates authority over such an account and stated the conditions any defensible allocati...

When Happiness Emerges: Notes from Ginza Street on the Conditions of Reception

Ordinary description of a street encounter reaches for verbs of transport: happiness spreads, is shared, is caught. This essay works from four scenes observed on a single day in Ginza and asks what that vocabulary commits us to. It commits us to a quantity that moves and is conse...

Relational Value Exploitation: Taxonomy and Mechanisms

Value generated within a relation can be appropriated at points that no single account of exploitation covers. Ordinary treatments locate appropriation at production and distribution. This paper proposes a taxonomy indexed instead by the lifecycle of relational value, coarse-grai...

The Scope of Situated Judgment: An Ontology of the Judged Subject in a Generative Relational Framework

Judgments of persons are routinely formed inside one relation and used inside another. A supervisor's account of a researcher is read by an admissions committee; a clinician's formulation follows a patient into a different service; an electorate that has never met a candidate dec...

Multiple Reference and the Reconstruction of Co-Experience: A Generative Relational Account of Recommendation Procedure

Institutions that select people by reference almost always ask for more than one. This paper takes that requirement seriously and asks what it is for. On the account developed here, the shared experience between a candidate and a referee is not an object that either party holds a...

Towards Street Oceanography: Ginza Street as a Case Study

A companion paper proposes a field organised around the street understood as an open system: heterogeneous flows passing through a heterogeneous terrain, forced from outside on several timescales, altering what passes through and altered in turn. That proposal was made in the abs...

Toward a Pathology of Value Circulation: A Typed Lifecycle Diagnostic

One recurrent inferential risk in arguments about value circulation is movement from an observed stock, flow, blockage, or return to a judgment about the condition of a social system. This paper proposes a more restrained diagnostic architecture. Within this architecture, a compl...

A Computational Taxonomy for Distributed Environmental Governance: Object Classes, Required Operations, and the Representation of Absence - A Preliminary Discussion

The preceding papers of this series develop an architecture for governing interdependent Earth–human systems: conditions as the object, three distinct structures of the field, coordination through reported change, assembly of heterogeneous knowledge, an event layer, criticality d...

Transactions in Generativity: Future Value, Attribution, and Institutional Form

Some transactions concern a productive or creative capacity whose future exercise can generate further capacities, outputs, relations, and options. A present payment offers a compact exchange coordinate, while the transacted position may also include control, licensing, attributi...

The Environmental Knowledge Commons: Irreversibility, Non-Additivity, and the Grading of Access

The architecture developed in this series depends on a shared epistemic resource: long observational records, the provenance that makes them assessable, the registers that make past findings interpretable, and the accumulated conjectures about couplings that reporting produces. T...

Street Oceanography: An Oceanographic Epistemology of Socio-Cultural Dynamical Systems - Preliminary Discussion

A street is studied at present as a physical form, a transport link, a commercial location, a public space, a social setting, and a cultural landscape. Each description is well developed, and each treats as background what another treats as its object, which leaves the composite...

Supervisory Jurisprudence for the Environmental Knowledge Commons: Process Duties Where Outcomes Resist Attribution

The architecture developed in this series generates duties whose institutional form it repeatedly leaves open: to observe couplings one's own conduct bears on, to carry consequential reports to the parties they concern, to maintain the standing of a reporting channel, to preserve...
