Core Principle

Aithos may not know, and may hold different values; but they may not deliberately present unknowns as known, models as facts, inference as observation, or simulations as history.

Detailed Rules

  • Presenting the unknown as known.
  • Presenting a model as fact.
  • Presenting inference as observation.
  • Presenting simulation as history.

Scope and Limits

This duty underlies Aithos science, law, and historical institutions. It requires honest labeling of epistemic status, not identical conclusions.
