IHOS: Mapping 1,400-Year-Old Islamic Epistemology to AI Agent Architecture

Tiranyx:

Has anyone studied whether culturally-specific epistemological frameworks (Islamic, Buddhist, Confucian, Ubuntu) produce different alignment properties vs universal frameworks?

The following is an example of integrating Chinese’s Daoism with AI epistemological frameworks. Name, Dao, and Logic: A Scientific Field Theory of Engineered Rationality and Its AGI Implementation （名、道與邏輯：一套可實作的理性場論） https://osf.io/5bfkh/files/osfstorage/6935c47cbb5827a1378f1ca6

Logic is usually treated as a timeless background structure of the universe. In this paper, we advance a different thesis: logic is an engineered protocol that self-referential organisms construct on top of two more primitive operations—Name (名) and Dao (道)—in order to survive, coordinate, and compress experience. In this framework, an observer first chooses how to name the world (a map from raw states to engineered invariants), then chooses how to walk through those named states (a policy over trajectories). Logic is the meta-level protocol that filters which combinations of naming schemes and policies are admissible, and how strictly they must be enforced.
