Capacities that must already be in place for institutions and technologies to function: judgment, moral standing, responsibility, object constitution, answerability.
Recovers the gifted subject — an agency constituted through reception and response — against a self taken to be exhaustively self-authored or exhaustively optimised.
Distinguishes cases in which responsibility is refused from cases in which the institutional conditions for responsibility to arise at all are absent from the outset.
Argues that responsibility can fail in two structurally connected ways — motivational states formed opaquely (the Conditional Reflexive Requirement) and institutions assigning responsibility where the conditions of genuine authorship are absent (misfired imputation) — and shows that one architectural property produces both failures at once, so neither can be remedied without the other.
Case · A worked case of proprietary sepsis-prediction alerting in hospital care carries the unity claim, with the result brought to bear on Article 14 of the EU AI Act.
Asks what has to line up for a craft to keep being practised. Safeguarding usually counts designation, documentation, training, funding, and the condition of protected objects one at a time. This article argues that continuity depends on whether those conditions coincide for the same people, and develops 'heritage exercisability' as a diagnostic framework tested on Norwegian vessel preservation.
Develops the partition thesis: criteria of moral standing determine who is considerable but do not by themselves generate priority among those admitted.
Case · Ontocentric information ethics serves as the maximal test of the thesis.
Principal current manuscript. Identifies the institutional site at which answerability must be borne once reasoning is delegated to automated procedures, and shows how nominal oversight can leave that site vacant.
Specifies four conditions on a maintenance license — the entitlement to treat a predictive output as a ground for a given intervention — and shows that predictive accuracy does not by itself confer any of them.
Case · AI-driven predictive maintenance in industrial asset management serves as the applied test case.

Studies how ontological commitments organise the space in which normative orderings can be constructed at all.
Formulates a criterion of design–inference alignment: the inferences licensed by an empirical design must not exceed the constitution of its object.
Sketches a general account of how the constitution of scientific objects constrains the inferences that can be drawn about them.
Reconstructs friction as a productive, not merely obstructive, feature of institutional systems and shows what its removal costs.
Proposes an organic account of institutional interfaces against a purely mechanical API metaphor.
