Modal Logic of Indetermination, Decision Theory, and Epistemology: A Conceptual Framework for Knowledge Production through Predication

We present a formal framework integrating modal logic of indetermination, decision theory, and epistemology to model how agents produce facts via predication. By distinguishing predication from an attempt at predication, we emphasize that the agent’s objective is the establishment of the semantic reality of definite predicates, rather than the refutation of underlying theories. The framework introduces sufficiency criteria governing determination, allows for their structural evolution, and applies to both scientific discovery and artificial intelligence, providing a general, formal account of knowledge production.
