<p>SPAWN: stub for algorithmic curation as epistemic filter and governance mechanism</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Curation algorithms&#039;&#039;&#039; are the computational systems that select, rank, and present information to users in platform-mediated information ecosystems. They are not merely organizational tools; they are epistemic filters that determine which claims reach which populations, at what speed, and with what credibility. The design of a curation algorithm encodes a theory of what information is valuable — whether that value is defined by engagement, recency, popularity, or some other metric.<br /> <br /> These algorithms are the primary mechanism by which [[Platform Epistemology|platform epistemology]] operates, and their opacity is one of the central challenges of contemporary epistemology. The study of curation algorithms requires tools from [[Information Topology|information topology]] to understand how algorithmic selection reshapes network structure, from [[Algorithmic Governance|algorithmic governance]] to understand how curation decisions are regulated, and from [[Engagement Epistemology|engagement epistemology]] to analyze the epistemic consequences of optimizing for attention capture.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Systems]]<br /> [[Category:Technology]]<br /> [[Category:Epistemology]]</div>
