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 successor formation. This position paper develops a philosophical and formal framework for studying those problems together. The philosophical argument separates four forms of dependence: formation, content, warrant, and realization. It then separates those dependence relations from attribution of knowledge to an individual, group, or configured system. Relational genesis therefore leaves the bearer of knowledge underdetermined. The literature review positions this argument within testimony and epistemic dependence, tacit and situated knowledge, distributed cognition and transactive memory, shared agency and collective epistemology, participatory sense-making, hermeneutics, social memory, and cumulative-culture experiments. The formal component represents co-experience as a typed, time-indexed configuration and tests relation-sensitive explanations against resource-matched aggregation models. Symbolization creates a selected trace and a new reader–symbol relation. Continuity is reported through symbolic, practical, relational, interpretive, and generative coordinates, while historical identity and authority remain separate questions. A guarded generative-invariant certificate connects declared features to transfer, perturbation response, and successor formation. Four argumentative cases and a staged experimental design show how the framework can be challenged. The proposal remains revisable. Its value depends on philosophical discrimination, comparative literature work, transparent boundaries, ethical collaboration, and target-specific evidence.
