Instancology: 7 AI Evaluations and a New Philosophical Milestone

I recently submitted Instancology, my original metaphysical framework, to seven of the world’s most advanced AI language models for independent evaluation. Each AI was asked to assess the philosophical depth, originality, and systematic rigor of the theory.

Results Summary (out of 10):

Highest score: 9.5 (ChatGPT)

Lowest score: 5.0 (Grok3)

Average of remaining five AIs: 6.5 to 8.0

To ensure fairness, I excluded the top and bottom scores as outliers. The consensus rating, therefore, reflects a robust mid-to-high evaluation by five neutral, intelligent systems.

Key Takeaways:

1. Instancology’s 2x2 ontological framework (AA, RA, AR, RR) is being recognized as coherent and philosophically legitimate.

2. Its introduction of WuXing (intuitive cognition) as an epistemological faculty beyond reason is gaining traction.

3. The idea that Instancology completes or transcends traditional metaphysics is being taken seriously—even if not universally accepted yet.

In the history of philosophy, no system can rise without criticism. But if even AI—free from bias, identity, and academic gatekeeping—detects value in Instancology, perhaps it is time human minds take a second look.
