DE DEFECTV FVNDAMENTI: A Formal Epistemological Inquiry into the Architecture of Critical Discipleship and the Structural Vertigo of Hyper-Abundant Epistemic Data

This formal epistemological inquiry addresses the systemic architecture of critical discipleship operating within the contemporary landscape of hyper-abundant epistemic data. Utilizing text-critical historical methodologies and cognitive linguistic frameworks, this paper analyzes the phenomenon of "structural vertigo"—a cognitive and existential disorientation caused by the geometric expansion of information detached from a centralized ontological anchor. The investigation demonstrates how traditional didactic frameworks suffer from de defectu fundamenti (the failure of the foundation) when they rely on purely epistemic, data-driven parameters rather than rigorous ontological realignment. By evaluating ancient Near Eastern philosophical paradigms against modern behavioral structures, a reconstructed model of discipleship is posited. This model demands an uncompromising, system-challenging framework of submission and authority designed to insulate the human cognitive apparatus from data saturation while facilitating genuine, recognizable personal transformation. Ultimately, this inquiry provides a scalable architectural blueprint for curriculum developers, academic administrators, and philosophical educators seeking to establish objective truth parameters in an increasingly decentralized digital ecosystem.
