2. The Unidirectional Flow

Warrant is generated as a unidirectional vector. Skiping or reordering the premises collapses the possibility of truth-recognition.

3. The Two Forms of Warrant

  1. JCB (Justified Coherent Belief): Complete warrant for Intrinsic claims (Logic, Math, Phenomenal Reports). Satisfied by P1P_1 through P4P_4.
  2. JRB (Justified Reliable Belief): Warrant for Extrinsic claims (Empirical Reality). Requires the full sequence including P5P_5 (Sustained, intersubjectively reproducible reliability).

Conclusion: Dissolving Agrippa

By operating on a procedural level rather than a propositional one, the Law of Epistemic Warrant dissolves Agrippa’s Trilemma. It does not justify beliefs with other beliefs; it describes the mandatory hardware-level architecture required for any warrant to exist at all.
