The Absence

The most dangerous epistemic state is not error but the void where testing never happened. Confabulation is not failed truth-tracking. It is unconstrained generative coherence — a system producing internally consistent output that was never forced to change by contact with anything external. The pathology is silent because no check was attempted, not because a check was passed. In 1995, Ted Jacobson derived Einstein's field equations from thermodynamics. He did not start with
