Luhmann, or: An AI Answer Is Not a Decision
State v. Loomis shows how a score becomes a decision premise — and why its status, appeal route, and owner must be documented.

Editor · Intelligence Architecture
Oliver Wrede writes and teaches on interface design, knowledge systems, and the architecture of intelligence in organizations. He is interested in how humans, institutions, and machines reason together — and how design shapes the quality of that reasoning.

Foundations
Jennings and the Machine's Ceiling
A very new working paper proposes a boundary for intelligence. AlphaZero reveals what its criteria explain — and what they do not yet establish.

Russell, or Uncertainty as a Virtue
The off-switch game creates an incentive for correction — and its extensions show why uncertainty is not enough.
·
Foundations
Beer, or the Organization as Controller
Project Cybersyn shows why an impressive control architecture is not yet effective regulation.
·
Foundations
Three Architects of Intelligence
Stafford Beer supplies the organizational backbone. Stuart Russell tests corrigibility; Bernard Jennings offers a young and explicitly provisional challenge to equating throughput with intelligence.
·
Commentary
A Proposal for an Architectural Definition of Intelligence
Bernard Jennings describes an internal architecture of intelligent systems. A critical reading separates that criterion from the organizational architecture of decision authority.
·
Artificial Intelligence
When a Score Becomes a Rule
Once an AI output is tied to thresholds, defaults, and authority, it changes the decision system.
·
Artificial Intelligence
Can You Actually Trust an AI?
The Horizon case shows why a technically consistent record cannot warrant its own truth. Trust requires a route from evidence to challenge and correction.
·
Design Theory
Numbered, Therefore True?
On pseudo-precision — when a correct calculation claims more than its evidence can support. Ours included.
·
Foundations
What Is Intelligence Architecture?
A working term for useful and responsible cooperation between people and AI systems inside organizations.
·
Artificial Intelligence
Machines That Reason With Us
An architectural reading of the Epic Sepsis Model validation distinguishes selection power, proposal power, trigger authority, and reversibility.

Organizations
Where Decisions Take Hold
The Columbia investigation traces a signal that was detected and widely shared yet never acquired stable status as a mission-critical decision problem.
