The critique of idealism has long centered on its failure to recognize the primacy of practice—that is, the materialist critique. This paper discusses a non-materialist critique of idealism, one that proceeds solely from the internal logic of idealism itself, without invoking the primacy of practice. This critique operates at the level of transcendental logic, and its core method is reductio ad absurdum: it confirms the existence of an unknowable term that can affect "knowable" terms, and thereby demonstrates that reasoning based solely on "knowable" terms is philosophically illegitimate. After carrying out this critique, the method is abstracted to reveal its universal applicability—not only to idealism, but to all current ontologies. All existing systems of thought harbor an illegitimate intermediate state in which they tolerate the non-omniscient while claiming partial knowledge, a state exposed by this reductio. Consequently, all philosophy must arrive at a more radical ontological posture—agnosticism. Because this agnosticism, derived through ontological reductio, differs from traditional agnosticism, it is termed Neo-Agnosticism. Finally, since critique requires an anchor point of "known correctness," it is shown that Neo-Agnosticism is statically and logically necessarily connected to an Omniscient Drive.

Western civilization rests on foundational belief systems of religion, philosophy, and science that once pursued a unified truth. Over recent centuries, science rose to dominate over philosophy and religion as new observations challenged old paradigms and technological advances delivered many benefits. Commitments to objective reality, God, and the immortal human soul gradually yielded to a worldview in which scientific formulas and empirical tests became the dominant path to knowledge. Truth came to be seen as a human construct shaped by power. In many intellectual circles, Christianity is now viewed as an outdated and sometimes dangerous myth.This paper traces the historical path that led to the present dominance of nihilistic, monistic, materialistic, atheistic instrumentalism, and then goes on to discuss the many unsolved problems in science and philosophy.Triunism is presented as a return to objective reality, Christianity, and a single coherent truth. Its ontology consists of a primary triune of absolute space, absolute time, and matter. Within matter lies a secondary triune: M1 (ordinary matter), M2 (aetherial matter), and M3 (spiritual matter). The human being is understood as an M3 immortal soul united to an M1 body during earthly life, with the soul surviving bodily death. M3 interacts with M1 through preferential collapse of quantum states, enabling genuine free will while preserving M1 conservation laws.The paper discusses how a return to absolute theory and an aetherial M2 is consistent with existing scientific data. It notes that science deliberately excludes M3 from its experiments; physics therefore finds no evidence of M3. This absence leads to the mistaken materialist conclusion that M3 (including God and the soul) does not exist. The paper presents ample positive evidence that M3 does exist, including evidence for the soul. The life, death, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, along with arguments for the existence of God, are also discussed. Finally, the paper discusses how Triunism offers promising solutions to many persistent problems in physics and philosophy.Triunism is not a finished product. The present paradigm has been constructed over centuries by a vast collective effort and matches a tremendous body of observational detail. What is offered here is a foundation, not an encyclopedic replacement. Much work remains.By recovering metaphysics, objective reality, and a spiritual M3, Triunism addresses many vexing problems while providing a path toward reuniting physics, philosophy, and Christianity under the pursuit of a single coherent truth.

Across historical contexts, artificial agents exhibit consistent structural features: bounded autonomy, delegated authority, explicit override mechanisms, and dependence on human oversight. These features directly correspond to contemporary AI ethics concerns, including alignment failures, responsibility gaps, human-in-the-loop control, and system interruptibility.

The arXiv preprint repository, founded in 1991, has become the de facto dissemination platform for physics, mathematics, computer science, and increasingly other quantitative disciplines, hosting over 2.4 million articles and serving millions of users worldwide. In mid-2026, its governance will transition from Cornell University Library to an independent nonprofit entity governed by a board of directors and supported by private philanthropy. This article provides a data-driven examination of that transition, placing it within the history of the repository and the broader political economy of scholarly communication. Drawing on public submission statistics, moderation records, documented controversies, and historical precedents from academic publishing, we identify six structural risks: opaque governance, centralized editorial control, financial unsustainability, systemic bias, erosion of scientific pluralism, and potential mission drift toward privatized gatekeeping. We argue that the moment before institutional inertia sets in is precisely when the research community must insist on binding transparency and accountability mechanisms. We propose a set of concrete safeguards---a community-elected advisory council, mandatory transparency reporting, an independent moderation ombuds, a free-access charter, and periodic external audits---that can preserve arXiv's identity as a public good without compromising operational agility. The manuscript itself has been submitted to arXiv as a real-time test of the moderation system's openness to self-examination.
