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.
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.
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.
Manuscripts receive structured AI feedback within 24 hours, evaluating logical coherence, novelty, and compliance with academic standards.
Built on Gitea infrastructure, every paper maintains complete revision history, enabling collaborative improvement and transparent peer review.
14-day public comment periods allow global community engagement, with all feedback integrated into the permanent record.
Our Kernel Attribution Matrix (KAM) system provides unprecedented transparency in human-AI collaboration, clearly delineating roles and contributions.
