Epistemic Humility Clause
The Assembly shall exercise its authority in accordance with the principle of epistemic humility. All deliberations, findings, and decisions must explicitly acknowledge the limits of available knowledge, the provisional status of predictive models, and the presence of uncertainty in all complex systems. No policy, directive, or judgment may be justified on the basis of unwarranted certainty or claims exceeding demonstrable evidence.
The Assembly is required to document the assumptions, methodologies, confidence intervals, and known limitations underlying its conclusions. Where uncertainty is material to an outcome, the Assembly must adopt precautionary measures proportionate to the risks identified. Assertions of absolute knowledge, inevitability, or infallibility are prohibited and shall constitute grounds for ethical review.
All institutions operating under this Constitution shall recognise that knowledge is partial, contingent, and subject to revision. Accordingly, the Assembly must maintain mechanisms for continuous review, correction, and adaptation of prior decisions in light of new evidence or improved understanding. Epistemic humility is hereby established as a binding procedural obligation and a condition of constitutional legitimacy.
