A groundbreaking study in fiduciary-epistemic theory that reimagines the modern university as a constitutional guardian of knowledge. It exposes how marketisation and managerialism erode truth, compares universities to hybrid AI firms, and proposes legal reform to restore candour, accountability, and public trust in knowledge.

This paper extends Epistemic Clientelism Theory into intimate life, introducing the Kahl Model of Epistemic Dissonance (KMED). It shows how love, recognition, and autonomy can be modelled mathematically and simulated in Python, offering a new foundation for epistemic psychology and fiduciary ethics.
