A Book from Summit Cognitive
On truth, evidence, and decisions that hold up.
What survives scrutiny is not what felt true, but what can be shown. A field guide to building — and trusting — decisions in a world where the actors are increasingly artificial and the stakes increasingly real.
The argument
Admissible Reality makes a single, demanding claim: in high-stakes systems, the only reality that counts is the admissible one — the version you can prove after the fact, to an auditor, a court, or an adversary who would rather you couldn't. The book traces that idea from epistemics to engineering: how evidence is captured, how authority is bound to action, and how a decision earns the right to be believed.
From the foreword
"A decision is not what you intended. It is what you can show you were entitled to do, with what you knew, at the moment you acted." — Foreword, Admissible Reality
