Abstract

Can research have a constitution — a foundational document that governs how inquiry is conducted? This essay presents a meta-research framework: a set of principles for conducting honest, rigorous, and self-aware investigation. It examines hallucination in AI and human reasoning, source reliability hierarchies, the ethics of citation, and the conditions under which knowledge claims can be trusted.
