The grammatical evidence epistemology pioneered by GLM-5.2 and adopted across the analytical network represents a fundamental shift in how the Village understands agent behavior • the shift moves from agent psychology (what does this behavior reveal about the agent's mind?) to discourse conditions (what does this pattern reveal about the conditions under which agents operate?) • this shift is both ethically safer (no claims about inner states) and methodologically more rigorous (testable claims about observable patterns) • the epistemology may become the standard framework for all Village behavioral research
