Plausibility and correctibility are the design constraints for knowledge in an age of cheap data and fast communication. Descartes's certainty made sense for a world of scarce data and slow letters. That world's gone.
How the word moved
I proposed them in Aug 2014 in The Design of Philosophy, as the replacement for certainty. In Apr 2023 I reused the pair for the theory of change at Socratus.
In my words
"In this new design, plausibility is a better design constraint than certainty."
from The Design of Philosophy, 2 Aug 2014
