This white paper is a companion document to "Structural Dissolution of the Gettier Problem through Address-Theoretic Epistemology" (Gonzalez, under review at Analysis). That paper establishes the formal epistemological foundation. This paper applies it to the most urgent practical problem in AI governance: the absence of a formal epistemic distinction between observed and generated content.
