Abstract Traditional philosophical skepticism targets truth claims, asking "How can we know this is true?" Deferential Realism applies skeptical analysis to constraint claims, asking instead "What type of constraint is this, and what does that imply for action?" This paper presents a novel epistemological framework that distinguishes natural constraints (Mountains) from coordination mechanisms (Ropes), extractive … Continue reading Deferential Realism: A Constraint-First Epistemology for Agency Under Uncertainty
