The Architecture of Epistemic Power: Narrative Enclosure, Institutional Self-Correction, and the Supercritical Regime — With Amendment I

This theoretical and methodological amendment extends The Architecture of Epistemic Power by integrating environmental drift thresholds, operational recoverability, and the Enclosure Brittleness Index with the Sentinel historical evidence-isolation methodology. The study distinguishes temporary adaptive error from persistent tracking failure and examines how internal consensus may coexist with external inaccuracy. It proposes a research architecture connecting mathematical modeling, historical time-locking, evidence provenance, and independent institutional scrutiny. The formulations are proposed research constructs requiring independent empirical validation. Author: Baron Charles DuPontAffiliation: Warning Lab ResearchOctober 2026
