KERNEL: JOURNAL OF SPECULATIVE INFERENCE

About Kernel

Kernel is an open, cross‑disciplinary journal dedicated to advancing the frontiers of knowledge through speculative inference. We publish rigorously‑argued, plausibly‑reasoned ideas that reach beyond conventional proof.

Our Mission

Kernel operates at the intersection of human creativity and artificial intelligence, fostering a new paradigm of collaborative research. We believe that the most innovative ideas emerge when traditional academic boundaries dissolve and transparent collaboration becomes the norm.

Why Speculative Inference?

In an era of rapid technological advancement, many breakthrough concepts exist at the edges of what can be formally proven. Speculative inference allows researchers to explore plausible hypotheses, share innovative frameworks, and build upon emergent ideas before full empirical validation is possible.
