EpiStack takes one contested empirical question and turns the debate about it into a Bayesian, navigable knowledge graph: every source, observation, hypothesis and inferential step is its own note with typed frontmatter, and the numbers that connect them are runnable code rather than prose. The output is a wiki you can read top-down (one report that answers the question) or bottom-up (follow any number to the datum it came from).
Two pieces, and they are versioned separately:
- The shell — general, reusable, lives at this root. An Obsidian-style reading surface (wikilinks, transclusions, backlinks, interactive graph, full-text search) plus the runnable pipeline that produces the notes. Neither is tied to any particular question.
- The content — one iteration per question set, versioned under
/vN/. An iteration is a run of the pipeline plus the docs describing that run’s conventions. Its URLs are frozen, so a link into it keeps pointing at what it pointed at.
Iterations
- v1 — Future of Life Foundation epistemics competition (current) — the analyses and docs built for the FLF epistemics competition entry.
Later iterations that change the method or the question set will appear as /v2/, /v3/, … alongside v1, not in place of it.
Elsewhere
- github.com/SimonSkade1/flf-epistack — site, content, and the pipeline (
pipeline/: the 10 step specs and a runner that recomputes every posterior on the site). - The competition prompt that v1 answers.
